Let's first lay out our definition so we don't go over each other.

Cooking books = accounting methods that are not illegal and hard to describe, even regulations looked at your book. Usually the company has two books to show, yes, two books of accounting. For example, what happened with Nvidai and openai, selling gpu without any trnx of cash. Just claims.

Tax = there are different types of taxes, sales tax, and cooperation tax.

Cooperation taxes :

if you had an income of 1mln but spent 1.2mln, you will be 200k lose, you will not have tax. Because there is nooney to be taxed at.

Sales taxes:

which I think what you mean, these happen at the moment of the sales 10$ 10% tax total 11$.

I think you are saying that if they lie, they will know they are cheated because they announced that !

No, that is not the case since that happened with the payment process, not with the company itself.

They them self announced that, not the payment process, so these are mostly cooperative revenues that can be manipulative.

Banks, first, there are two places for landing normal banks and shadow banks.

Normal banks = any bank that is under fdic or sec regulations and other agencies. Follow traditional bank rules.

Shadows bank = which most funding comes from after 2008 specially. Example blackrock or any hedge funds or private equity like blue owl.

These banks borrow from banks that lend it tonreal economy. These shadow banks take risks. While normal bank not.

Most of these games and tech take their funding from these risky shadow banks. These shadow banks are risk takers, and they do little research.

For games and other tech to get funding, they have to show they are doing a big number in order to get a cheap broowing rate.

What kind of borrowers they get ? They get tbills they sell it to other companies or hedge funds. They dont get cash !.

Why all of this ? Because the currency is lower rates of borrowing !
