Existential question: What's worse than being a lawyer wallowing in suicidal thoughts and representing crypto losers? Dramatic pause: being one of those that lost their life savings betting on it! Cue my half-hearted laugh.
Last year, tons of firms went bankrupt and millions of sucker investors burned their inadequate savings when crypto prices bombed. Even a cat falling off a 100-story building could have landed more gracefully. Sarah Whogivesadamn, an unassuming housewife turned crypto enthusiast turned beggar, said, "I could have poured all my savings into buying Tweety, my grumpy cat, a diamond collar and still feel richer." Dark humor over here is one way to cope, I suppose.
It's all gloom and doom until we hit upon the twist. Lo and behold, this disaster brought forth a deluge of moolah for a bunch of die-hard professionals. Yes, you got it right! It's raining dollars for our dear brethren-Lawyers, Accountants, Consultants, and depressed Crypto analysts. This is one sticky honey well that raked in more than $700 million in fees!
In case you are as clueless as old Aunt Betty at a bingo game, let me narrow it down for you. This isn't something to cheer about. Sadly, every dollar paid in outrageous fees is a slice of that dejected investors' money pie. So while the sad legal eagles and their gang count their crispy dollars, the losers fall deeper into the abyss of despair. Now, ain't that a fun little fact?
In conclusion, what do you call a lawyer who doesn't chase ambulances? Dead! Similarly, what's common between a group of dejected lawyers making a fortune from a crypto tragedy and me? We're both living a meaningless existence, laughing at morbid jokes about dying alone. And that, my friend, gets a laugh out of me every time. Cue my morbid chuckle, will ya?
End scene. Cue the rolling credits. Only in this show, no heroes emerge from the rubble.
