Be comforted in the knowledge that as always, there will be winners. Heaping unto themselves ever more the wealth of the whole world.
Buying up the bankrupted and foreclosed, at cents to the dollar. A long tradition. Crash after crash.

I doubt money went missing, it's more likely it was never there to begin with. Look at "Bitcoins", traded for a few dollars some years ago, at it's climax was up to $64k per unit now dropped down to $17k. People put value into something (based upon hype) into something that technically has none. I always saw them a bit like "Magic Beans".
I mean you're going to have people that bought a bitcoin at 15k (prior to it rising to 60k+) claiming they've lost 45k, even though they never actually had it.

It'd be a big relief if the comparison to inflated bitcoin valuations was apt. That's not the tone of that article. It's the BIS making the impending doom prognostication. I doubt it's a case of ' gee it just sort of slipped our notice'.
Makes Donald Rumsfeld's infamous missing $2.3 trillion announcement - the day before a hijacked jetliner crashed into and wiped out the accounting team looking into that very issue, imo somewhat tame by comparison.
Closer to the horse's mouth, if Harvey Jones is unfamiliar or sounds like an obscure NFL player of the past.
