I haven’t seen this much sponsorship since I went to Epcot in middle school. #sxsw
Hey there I-Bankers … here’s where (some of) your paychecks are coming from.
Morgan Stanley received a $9 billion investment from Mitsubishi UFJ in the fall of 2008 that kept the firm from collapsing. The payment was supposed to be wired electronically, but because it needed to be made on an emergency basis on a holiday, Mitsubishi cut a physical check, perhaps the largest ever written.
Above is a copy of the $9,000,000,000.00 check.

“Hello, folks, Captain Harrison here. We’re about to make our final approach into LAX, so why don’t you fold up those tray tables and bring your seats HOLY FUCK MOTHER OF FUCK! What is that? Oh, shit! Do whatever you want! Recline your goddman seats, fuck in the aisles, whatever, go for it! The end of days is here, and it’s everyone for themselves before Satan reaches up a giant, gnarled claw from those flames and pulls this tin bird straight down to Hell! Oh, Jesus. Repent! No, fuck! Keep fucking! Your stewardesses will be by to prepare the cabin for damnation. Have a lovely stay in the Malebolge, or wherever your eternal destination might be.”

VERY surprised to see a real City Wok
