Does anyone else think that this guy's name sounds like a name that Strong Bad would make up when prank calling Marzipan?
"Hello Marzipan! This is your bank man... Sam...Bankman Fried."
"Hello Marzipan! This is your bank man... Sam...Bankman Fried."
Yes there were a lot of Jewish bankers (and still are). Is it because of discrimination (getting forced into certain economic sectors)? That's complicated... but we should probably not make too much fun of them all the same.
What's actually kind of neat is that Islam majority countries solved the same problem by inventing new financial instruments and skirting the rules as written. "I'm not charging interest, this is a fee for the service of this weird rent to own structure we made". I don't think it's common in Islam to hate jews for being "The bankers".
But you knew this, because you didn't ask this question in earnest.
