Part 2/7:
On March 18, 2020, during a dramatic live segment on CNBC, Aman presented a bleak outlook regarding the COVID-19 crisis, likening the unfolding situation to a "tsunami" headed towards the American economy. With the stock market already experiencing downturns, Aman's comments were a catalyst for further declines. His stark warnings surrounding hotel chains, specifically Hilton, which he labeled as the “canary in the coal mine,” caused even more alarm in a continuously plummeting market. Despite the gravity of his statements, unbeknownst to many, Aman was simultaneously offloading a multi-billion dollar bet on corporate bankruptcies and purchasing stocks as they sharply dropped in price.
