Paul acknowledges that his active trading decisions were the cause of his significant financial loss and takes full responsibility for it.

“That's all on me for sure. Um, so I uh have a history of looking at the numbers a little too too much. Um, I have a very obsessive um mindset towards finances and and towards money in general. Uh so when I saw the uh you know potential news um uh you know that that I thought you know I thought I had”

Vicki expresses that she holds Paul responsible for the loss but emphasizes that it represents a serious betrayal of trust and financial security.

“not just in the betrayal of trust, but in the the loss of of that.”
