In 1997, a young trader named Scott Bessent, working under George Soros’ Quantum Fund, helped launch one of the most ruthless financial offensives in modern history, triggering a chain reaction that crashed the economies of Thailand, South Korea, and much of Asia. Now, 28 years later, Bessent is no longer a private trader — he’s the 79th U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. In this episode, NYC finance lawyer Teen Sheng unpacks how Trump’s inner circle may have mapped out America’s economic war against the world — and why it could lead us down a dangerous path.
