That's a fair point. I suppose the difference is if a rando is about to get blown out of the water, no one is coming to save them. If someone connected is going to get blown out of the water, calls are going to be made, people are going to meet, and it's going to "be taken care of" even if it's a good deal for whomever is Winston 'The Wolf' Wolf in the situation. Caveat being that sometimes, even if well connected, you're still toast (Archegos Capital Management and Bill Hwang).
