A billionaire trader has spent 40 years trying to delete a one-hour documentary. It shows him making $100 million in a single afternoon. He predicted the crash that made it possible three months in advance. He has never explained why he wants the film gone. His name is Paul Tudor Jones. The film is on YouTube.
The documentary is called "Trader." PBS filmed it in 1987, three months before Black Monday. Jones was 32 years old, working from a small New York office, wearing shorts and a t-shirt, yelling at his phones, throwing paper across the room, and sleeping under his desk. The film captures him and his research partner Peter Borish overlaying a chart of the 1929 market on 1987, month by month. The two charts tracked within one percent. Borish said this is exactly what happened in 1929. Jones said if the analog holds, October is when it breaks.
On October 19, 1987, the Dow fell 22.6 percent in a single day. It remains the largest one-day percentage loss in stock market history. That afternoon, Tudor Jones covered his shorts and made roughly $100 million. He was 33 years old. He was one of the very few traders on the street who came out ahead.
He tried to bury the tape because it made him look reckless in a professional world that punished swagger. Twenty years of legal effort did not delete it. Someone kept a copy. It is on YouTube. It has fewer views than most makeup tutorials.
The film is not really about a crash. It is about a specific philosophy of trading. Jones is shown building conviction slowly, sizing carefully, then striking hard when the setup arrives. He is never once shown making a random bet. He is shown doing the same thing five times a day, every day, for three months.
His signature line, repeated across a 45-year career:
"The most important rule of trading is to play great defense, not great offense."
He does not try to be right. He tries not to lose. He sets stops tight, cuts positions fast, and never averages down on a loser. Every trade in the film follows this template.
Tudor Investment Corp, the fund he founded in 1980, has compounded at roughly 19 percent a year for 45 years. He is 71 years old and still trading. His method has not changed since the film.
The lesson: greatness in markets is a refusal, not a talent. Refusal to be reckless. Refusal to be certain. Refusal to average down. Refusal to trust yourself in a drawdown. Tudor Jones has refused those refusals for 45 years.
The tape is free. The philosophy is repeated in every trade. Most traders will never watch it.
99% of options traders are gambling because they never learned the fundamentals.

You owe the IRS $100,000
They'll take $5,000 and close your file. Permanently. Balance goes to $0
It's called an Offer in Compromise. Form 656. The IRS approved 42% of them last year. Application fee: $205
Here's the exact formula they use to decide your number and how to reverse-engineer the lowest possible offer
The IRS doesn't want to chase you for 10 years. Collection employs 78,000 people. Each agent costs the agency $89,000/year in salary and overhead. Liens require court filings. Levies require processing. Garnishments require administration. They'd rather take your $5,000 check today than spend $120,000 in administrative costs over a decade trying to squeeze $100,000 out of someone who will never have it
They literally built a math formula to calculate the minimum they'll accept. Here it is:
RCP = (monthly disposable income x remaining collection months) + (net realizable equity in assets)
Monthly disposable income: your gross monthly income minus IRS-allowed living expenses. They don't use YOUR actual expenses. They use standardized tables published at the irs website standards. These tables set exact allowances by county for housing, food, transportation, healthcare, and out-of-pocket expenses
If you earn $4,200/month and the IRS allowable expense table for your county totals $3,900, your disposable income is $300/month. If you earn $3,800/month and the table allows $3,900, your disposable income is negative and the IRS considers it $0
Remaining collection months: for a lump sum offer (paid in 5 months or less), multiply disposable income by 12. For a periodic payment offer (paid over 6-24 months), multiply by 24. The lump sum multiplier is lower, which means a lump sum offer will always be cheaper than a payment plan offer. Always choose lump sum if you can
Net realizable equity in assets: bank accounts, investments, vehicles, real property. BUT they subtract allowances. Your primary car: exempt up to the IRS local standard (roughly $6,000-$10,000 in equity depending on area). Household furnishings: fully exempt. Retirement accounts: partially exempt and heavily discounted (the IRS applies a "quick sale value" of 60-80% of actual value because they know selling retirement accounts triggers penalties)
Real calculation:
Income: $4,200/month
IRS allowed expenses: $3,900/month
Disposable income: $300/month
Lump sum multiplier: 12 months
$300 x 12 = $3,600
Assets:
Bank account: $2,100
Car equity: $4,800 (below IRS exemption, counts as $0)
401k: $18,000 (quick sale value at 60% = $10,800, minus 10% early withdrawal penalty = $9,720, minus taxes at 22% = $7,582)
Household goods: exempt
But here's the part most people don't know: you can CHOOSE to exclude retirement accounts from the RCP calculation by checking a specific box on Form 433-A (OIC). The IRS has an internal policy (IRM 5.8.5.24) that allows exclusion of retirement assets for taxpayers under age 65 if liquidating those assets would cause economic hardship. Your tax preparer should know this. Most don't
Revised RCP without retirement: $3,600 + $2,100 = $5,700
Your offer: $5,700 on $100,000 in tax debt. 5.7 cents on the dollar
The nuclear part:
While the OIC is being reviewed (6-24 months), ALL collection activity legally stops. No levies. No new liens. No wage garnishment. The IRS cannot collect a single dollar from you while your offer is pending. This is codified in IRC Section 6331(k)(1)
And if the IRS fails to make a determination within 24 months of receiving your application, your offer is AUTOMATICALLY ACCEPTED. Two years of silence = you win by default. IRC Section 7122(f). They built an auto-accept clause into the law that most taxpayers never invoke because most taxpayers never file an OIC
The forms you need:
Form 433-A (OIC): complete financial disclosure for individuals. Every bank account, every asset, every income source, every expense. 8 pages. Fill it out accurately because they cross-reference against IRS records, DMV records, and financial institution reports. Lying on this form is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. 1001
Form 656: the actual offer. Your amount, your payment terms, your signature
$205 application fee (waived if income is below 250% of federal poverty level, which is $38,100 for a single person in 2026)
Initial payment with the application: 20% of your offer for lump sum. On a $5,700 offer that's $1,140
A woman owed $213,000 across 4 tax years (2019-2022). Hadn't filed 2020 or 2021. Hadn't paid any of them. Receiving CP504 notices (intent to levy) every month. We filed the delinquent returns first (required before OIC submission), then calculated her RCP at $8,400. Submitted OIC with $1,680 initial payment
IRS accepted 9 months later. $213,000 settled for $8,400. 3.9 cents on the dollar
She went from getting levy notices every month to a $0 IRS balance. Then we fixed her credit (the tax lien had destroyed it). Then we stacked $120K in 0% business funding. She opened a cleaning company 4 months later. The same IRS that was garnishing her wages is now processing her quarterly estimated tax payments from a profitable business
the IRS is the scariest creditor in America. they can garnish without a court order. seize your bank account with 30 days notice. lien every asset you own. but they also built a form where they calculate the minimum they'll accept using a formula you can reverse-engineer, and if they don't respond in 2 years your offer is automatically approved. the math is public. the formula is published. the form costs $205. the difference between paying $100K and paying $5K is knowing it exists lol
(we fix credit and build capital stacks. if you owe back taxes, handle that first. then we get you funded. link in bio)
If I got laid off tomorrow & had to replace my salary ASAP, here's exactly what I'd do:
1. Go to Amazon and start a fresh account. Use a different name. It can be completely anonymous.
