theres nothing that weird about looking at your holdings through a better volatility model and realizing youre probably fucked.. i understand it was a bit cheap but how were they supposed to portray it? it was more interesting in terms of watching a board room go to shit tho. but i meant it was better than i expected and i expected total shit

they sort of explained it but briefly and its hard to decipher without prior knowledge. basically firms use VaR models that are actually decent at gauging risk exposure but only if you use the correct distribution assumptions for volatility. volatility is never normally distributed in reality and has fat tails so if you use an inaccurate distributoin like that, your VaR is way lower than it seems. its likely the guy who got fired used a better, more complicated distribution to model it and the 95 VaR now showed they were exposed to more than all of the firms assets and even at lower confidence levels so one bad swing would crush them
