What a wonderful circular argument. "The risk is worth it, because otherwise they would not have taken it".

I could justify any investment with this argument!

"Yes, it's possible the 'literally burn 50 billion in cash, as in immolate it in a bondfire, this is not a metaphor' -project may fail to generate profits, but consider that they were able to raise the 50 billions! Even if it fails it was worth the risk, or the investors wouldn't have invested!"
