> That's ridiculous, "infinite money" isn't a thing.
My reading of GP is that he was being sarcastic - "infinite amounts of circular fake money" is probably a reference to these circular deals going on.
If A hands B investment of $100, then B hands A $100 for purchase of hardware, A's equity in B, on paper, is $100, plus A has revenue of $100 (from B), which gives A total assets of $200.
Obviously it has to be shuffled more thoroughly, but that's the basic idea that I thought GP was referring to.
