		auvi on March 9, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Mathematical Equations That Changed the World Yeah I was also a bit surprised. LTCM's "Long-Term" was ~ 4 years (1994-1998) with a total loss around $4.6 Billion. That time seems to be very small compared to the ~ 2500 years of the list. And $4.6 Billion? It's not even one third of WhatsApp!
