Bill Hwang, founder of the Archegos Capital family office fund, is considered to have the largest and fastest individual financial loss in the history of modern financial markets.
The Story and the Shock: In March 2021, Bill used an extremely large and excessive amount of leverage (Leverage) through derivatives contracts to buy shares in millions of companies without actually owning them.
The Collapse Moment: When the prices of some of those stocks dipped slightly, the banks demanded immediate account coverage, known as a (Margin Call). Because he did not have sufficient liquidity, the banks liquidated and seized his entire portfolio within just two days, causing him to lose his entire personal fortune, estimated at $20 billion in an instant.
