I disagree. It is impossible to believe that 550 billion worth of money market investors woke up on Sep 15 and said sell.
It is far more likely that Soros engineered the run to create an October Surprise to get the Kenyan elected.
The Soros-Kenyan conspiracy to collapse the financial sector is the largest crime ever perpetuated in history. I can see why it is difficult for you to imagine it.
That’s not a bad theory except that Soros doesn’t control anywhere close to $550 billion of money market fund assets. The withdrawals on 9/15/08 were probably made by a large number of institutional investors and wealthy foreign investors when they saw the news release that Lehman had filed for bankruptcy that day.
