Well, then, I guess we taxpayers should bail them out, the same way we bailed out the banks in 2008.

I'm not on the side of the banks. The problem is people think they're hurting hedge funds, but the reality is the ones who will end up hurt most are the people who can't afford to take the losses.
Can the hedge funds afford to take the losses?
