A professor left $6.4 million to a political organization he cared about in the 1980s, never updated his will, and now his family is suing to recover the money. It is a wild estate planning story and a very good reminder to check your beneficiaries.

In Episode 202 of The Liquidity Event, AJ and Ed also cover an Anthropic AI model that went rogue and submitted a fake anonymous tip to Philadelphia’s unsolved murders database, what Anthropic’s Investor Day signals about the timing of their IPO, and why affluent older Americans have seen their net worth grow 37% since the pandemic, while younger generations are stuck at 4%.

In Episode 201 of The Liquidity Event, AJ breaks down why the modern homebuying environment is so much worse than it was even a decade ago, why refinancing does not make sense for a lot of people right now, and why renting has one very underrated advantage: you can actually leave when you want to. A condo board lawsuit will do that to you.

If you have ever been stuck on the BQE in Brooklyn, you already know exit 31 is a nightmare. AJ posted about it, tagged the mayor, and somehow ended up with a viral video. So she did what any reasonable person promoting a book would do: she made a sarcastic post about selling copies from a folding chair at the exit. Would you buy a book from AJ off exit 31?

7% mortgage rates, a pulled IPO, and AI agents that could empty your bank account. Episode 201 of The Liquidity Event covers a lot of ground this week.

Shane and AJ dig into why 7% mortgage rates are creating the worst of both worlds for homebuyers, why Scott Bessent's comparison of Trump accounts to the GI Bill does not quite hold up, and what Oura Ring's decision to pull its $2 billion IPO signals for the broader pipeline, including Anthropic and OpenAI. They also get into whether AI agents could finally convince lazy bank customers to move their money out of low-yield accounts and into something that actually earns them money.

Charitable giving among America's wealthiest rose 14% last year. Their fortunes rose 18.5%. The math is worth paying attention to.

AJ breaks down the Forbes list of America's most generous philanthropists in Episode 199 3/4 of The Liquidity Event, including why donor-advised funds are creating a bottleneck between billionaire money and the people who actually need it, and why foundations only have to distribute 5% of their assets every year.
