SLPT I had an idea

hey guys

I was thinking about a really crazy idea. I was thinking to myself, what if you borrowed 1 billion from the bank? Okay, you owe all that money to the bank. But what if you bought the company from the bank for that amount? You wouldn't owe the owner or the bank anymore because you would be the owner and the bank would be yours too

Hey, I'm new here

It's like the old saying, "if you owe the bank a million dollars and you can't pay, you have a problem. If you owe the bank a billion dollars and you can't pay, the bank has a problem."
