When Oracle can't pay its debt obligations from cash income & has to borrow to pay the interest on what it borrowed - it clearly operates like a ponzi scheme.
While Wall Street banks tolerate this "leverage", the reality is they have NO tangible sense of its instability until it fails.

Not only is there a securities fraud case against Oracle for its massive AI capex, but it's being led by a *pension fund* which is clearly quite exposed to AI debt from one of the more, uh, overleveraged builders.
