While the media fixates on interest rates and inflation, a $250 trillion shadow banking monster quietly grows, hidden from traditional regulation. Hedge funds and private equity firms operate with 100x leverage, taking massive risks backed by the very banks holding your savings.

"You didn’t sign up to fund these risky bets... but your bank did."

Shadow banking now holds nearly half of the world’s financial assets—and when those bets go bad, the losses won’t be theirs. Bail-ins are already on the table—and they’re 100% legal. Archegos Capital was just the warning shot. Next time, it could be trillions.

To see how deep this rabbit hole goes, watch the full breakdown in the video above and understand why the next meltdown might come from the shadows.
