About Fake AMerican Banker

The Origin Story

The world of finance is serious. It is filled with complex derivatives, algorithmic trading, and people wearing fleece vests in the middle of July. It is an industry built on trust, prestige, and the ability to say the word "EBITDA" without laughing.

I possess none of those things.

I founded this website after realizing that I have amassed over three decades of high-level experience in using money to acquire goods and services. I have successfully completed thousands of transactions, ranging from "Buying a Sandwich" to "Paying the Electric Bill Reluctantly."

With this robust track record of participating in capitalism, I realized I was uniquely qualified to pretend to be an Asset Manager or Compliance Officer, but only on the internet.

My Qualifications

While I may not have a CFA, an MBA, or a clue what the bond market is doing today, I do have:

A diversified portfolio: Consisting entirely of loose change in my car cup holder and a punch card for a free coffee that I lost two months ago.
Risk Management skills: I once ate gas station sushi and lived to tell the tale.
Market Insight: I know that when the line goes up, people are happy, and when the line goes down, people post angry tweets.

The Mission

Fake AM Banker exists to ask the hard questions, like: “Why is this slide deck 40 pages long?” and “Do we really need another meeting to plan the meeting?”

This site is a dedicated safe space for mocking the absurdity of corporate culture, banking jargon, and the endless pursuit of "value-add deliverables."

A Very Important Note (The Serious Bit)

Please, for the love of compounding interest, do not take anything on this website seriously.

I am not a financial advisor.
I am not a lawyer.
I am a guy with a keyboard and an internet connection.

If you read an article on a site literally called Fake AM Banker and decide to restructure your retirement portfolio based on it, I cannot help you.

Oh, and I mostly post on Twitter/X.com, so make sure to check me out and follow!
