A debt experience

Collateral, a bank and a personal decision.

Chamath Palihapitiya recounts a stressful experience with debt and a bank during market disruption. The figures and events are his personal account; the short excerpt does not independently verify them.

He says he had a $420 million credit line secured by assets whose value fell. As the collateral shrank, he says, the borrowing arrangement came under pressure.

At the same time, he says he had substantial funds at Credit Suisse and worried over a weekend about their availability as the bank faced trouble. The excerpt does not give a full account of the timing or outcome.

Palihapitiya says he had broken his own rule against debt in pursuit of higher returns and came close to severe loss. He says the experience changed his willingness to borrow.

The other hosts respond with humor to his request that they hold him to that commitment. The underlying point is his account of leverage magnifying financial pressure when collateral values fall.
