Is 5 billion euros in exchange for 15 billion euros a good deal?

FutureTeashock

Consider this hypothetical scenario: someone genrously offers you 5 billion euros, but only on the precondition that you repay them 15 billion, is that a good deal?

That sounds like a horrible deal. Surely no one in their right mind would agree to such a deal

Hypothetically that depends on a number of equally hypothetical factors
1) How urgently do I need this €5B?
2) Can I get it anywhere else, under more favorable conditions?
3) When do I need to pay it back? (Lump sum, installments etc)
4) Hypothetically
5) How do I need to pay it back? (Cash, assets etc)


Do you want an AH answer?


No it's not a good deal and I am outraged

Could you take the 5 billion. Invest it in interest savings accounts and live off that while paying back the amount to 15billion

Take the 5 Bill and retain 100 mill for legal actions to prevent the 15 Bill recovery, until death.
