This is a special episode featuring several articles from The Australian newspaper. These articles were randomly selected from 19 news stories published over the past 10 weeks, covering the Cocoon allegations that have unfolded publicly.The audio files merged in this episode are the exact word-for-word content of these five articles, extracted from the website's text-to-speech software. We're republishing these articles (in audio format) because most people don't have a paid subscription to this news outlet, and we want our listeners to hear this content firsthand regarding the Cocoon controversy.Horizon SolSolutions Pty Ltd also traded as:Cocoon FranchiseCocoon Lifetime CareCocoon SDA AccommodationCocoon SDA HomesUPDATE (28.05.25): Cocoon have now been placed into liquidation. All financial inquiries must be directed to Deloitte, the appointed administrators.Source: THE AUSTRALIANOur research reveals the staggering exposure of Cocoon within NDIS - the NDIS has paid (last 4 years) to Cocoon over $200,000,000, amounting to about roughly $50M per year over the last four years (plus more from prior years). On top of that, Cocoon's property sales - specifically their "House Packages" sold to investors - netted approximately $50,000 in profit per sale (from a $100,000 gross profit). With roughly 300 sales, this equates to $15,000,000 plus in profits pocketed by Cocoon's co-founder, Mr. Zaffar Khan, not to mention his earnings from other land development sales. As recently as April 2025, Khan and his wife were reportedly shopping around to purchase $13 million worth of land in Brisbane. He offloaded a $16.5M site last year too! ASIC & NDIA & ATO should investigate businesses and assets held under Zaffar Khan's family members' names to seize them as "proceeds of crime" & repay the investors & participants - if it is proven that he has defrauded the NDIS or investors.  One has to wonder: How much financial wealth has Zaffar Khan amassed over the years by exploiting the NDIS and property investors - both domestic and abroad?

The Complexity Premia podcast strives to deconstruct modern investment problems for wholesale (not retail) participants in capital markets. You can listen on your favourite podcast app, or you can find it on Spotify, Podbean or Apple Podcasts. In this new flash episode of the Complexity Premia podcast, Chris and Ying Yi discuss why Coolabah was extremely bearish heading into April, predicting large equity losses; why the team hedged 15-25% of all its credit risk through to 9 April; why they cut all hedges on this day and went aggressively long, buying over $4bn of bonds thereafter; and what the outlook in this new uncertain world looks like.    This information is suitable for wholesale investors only and has been produced by Coolabah Capital Institutional Investments Pty Ltd ACN 605806059, which holds Australian Financial Services Licence No. 482238 (CCII).

Welcome back, everyone! I sat down with my new friend Daniel Wedman, the head of special situations at Sopris Capital. We delved into a variety of topics, focusing on the dynamic world of Bitcoin and crypto investments, and the evolving landscape of capital markets.Daniel's Career JourneyDaniel shared his fascinating career trajectory, starting from his early days at Citigroup on a special situations team, to his roles at SL Green and Wheelock Street Capital. His journey into the crypto world began as a side hobby of mining Bitcoin, which eventually led him to join Galaxy Digital's Bitcoin mining team.Sopris Capital and Investment StrategiesAt Sopris Capital, Daniel initially joined to build out the real estate arm but soon found himself pitching innovative investment ideas to Andy Paul, the open-minded founder. One notable strategy involved an ASIC arbitrage, where they imported ASICs from Asia, mined Bitcoin while waiting for them to sell, and then sold them at a premium.Bitcoin ATMsWe discussed the lucrative business of Bitcoin ATMs, which Daniel stumbled upon through a meetup in New York. Sopris Capital started with 50 machines in Canada and expanded to 200 in the U.S., with plans for further growth. Daniel highlighted the strong cash-on-cash returns and the significant market potential, especially among the underbanked.Stranded Energy and Bitcoin MiningDaniel explained the concept of stranded energy and how Bitcoin mining can utilize cheap, otherwise wasted energy sources. He shared an example of a curtailed wind energy project in West Texas, where they built a data center to mine Bitcoin using cheap wind energy.Economic Shifts and Investment OpportunitiesWe touched on the broader economic shifts and how they create opportunities for agile and flexible investors. Daniel emphasized the importance of reading the tea leaves and understanding the second and third-order consequences of policies aimed at helping working-class Americans.Compliance and Industry MaturationThe conversation also covered the increasing compliance requirements in the Bitcoin ATM industry and how this is leading to consolidation, with smaller players being acquired or going dark. Daniel sees this as a positive development, signaling the maturation of the industry.Future of Energy and ComputeDaniel shared insights from his time at Galaxy Digital, emphasizing the critical role of energy in the future of digital networks and compute. He expressed optimism about breakthroughs in energy technology, which could unlock a new era of innovation.Closing ThoughtsIt was a pleasure having Daniel Wedman on the show. His deep knowledge and innovative approach to crypto investments provided valuable insights for our listeners. As always, major changes in the world present opportunities for those who are prepared to adapt and innovate.Thank you for tuning in to The Charlie Shrem Show.
