the "trickle down" diametric itself.
The LARGER the deal the more "skim" there is on the way up, and the large deals are a "skim" Gold Mine for the govt when they fail.
No other reason usa bankers and equity bankers would accept the higher risk factors of these big deals.
Kinda common sense that there's 1000% less risk in betting $250k each on 1000 operators rather than say 2 bets of $125 million each on 2 operators.
( it's the flip side bet similiar to winning the Lotto....when lightning strikes one of the 1,000, your 1 head short. When lightning strikes 1 out of 2....you lose 50% of it )
The big secret in the usa is the fact the WHOLE dam deal can be run with almost ALL equity and NO debt anyway.
Just a matter of how one structures the capital investment end for business.
Do know they ALL tend to make good money when the interest so to speak is treated as equity on the front end, thus NO annual payments...just 5 to 10 year equity split deals.
