Ok, I deposit stock shares, you lose 50% of them under the couch, but the stock price goes up 110% so when the government seizes and liquidates your assets I have slightly more cash than the original value of what I deposited. Did you lose me money?

I didn't lose you your stake, I lost you your gains.

Losing the gains put SBF in jail for 25 years. Mothballed original comment was "So I'm thinking the crime would be nothing,".
