I would consider it to be irresponsible because we’ve never been in a position to hit the backing price, so it was impossible to say how it would play out when stress tested. That was a real risk that some either didn’t think about or chose to ignore, and that to me is a high-risk move. Sure we were told that the backing value would be used as a backstop, but there was no precedent to show how it would work in practice, so anyone depending on it was being assumptive.
FWIW, I don’t wish liquidations on anyone and I know they suck to deal with, but this is a learning experience for those that fell victim to this and there should not be anyone to blame except those that took the risk with their own funds
