LENDERS BEHAVING BADLY? MAYBE NOT YET — BUT THE CRACKS ARE SHOWING. ⚠️

From consumer fintech credit to private lending giants and regional bank frauds, the real risk in this market isn’t where you think it is — it’s where no one’s looking. Credit risk is migrating into the shadows, and that’s exactly where markets tend to break.

In today’s Truthbomb, Mark Malek unpacks the quiet shift happening beneath Wall Street’s bullish surface — where private credit booms, non-bank lenders blur the rules, and regional banks feel the heat. It’s a story of hidden leverage, fading discipline, and how easy money rewrites the playbook for risk.

💥 You’ll learn:
-Why private credit funds like Apollo, Ares, and Blackstone are the new shadow banks
-How “Buy Now, Pay Later” lending hides in the cracks of official data
-Why fraud and defaults in regional banks could be early warning signs
-What the credit cycle means for growth, markets, and your portfolio
The macro backdrop still looks good — AI, capex, and easing policy are fueling optimism — but history says credit cracks appear before the headlines.

👉 Your Truthbomb for today: When credit flows faulty, growth follows its fault lines.
