The Miami Confirmation — Exhibit 2

The 2008 parallel. Not a metaphor — a structural checklist.

Eisman confirmed the subprime thesis by going to Miami: brokers bragging, retail buyers stacked on ARM-financed homes, income that didn’t exist. The models showed risk; the floor proved it real. The divergence chart above is the model. What follows is the Miami confirmation — instrumented continuously by ADC instead of one trip.

Two tapes, twice: the market vs. the ground truth

2008 — how the last divergence resolved
2026 — you are here outcome open

Then vs now — paired magnitudes

Numbers compare honestly as headline stats — the replacement for the dropped dual trend charts.

Delinquency climb — ground truth breaking

Serious mortgage delinquency while the narrative stayed “contained” (2007) — the tape beneath the tape in 2008.

Structural element 2008 — subprime housing 2026 — AI capex supercycle
The asset Subprime mortgage bonds (MBS) AI compute — GPUs, data centers, model seats
Garbage origination NINJA loans — no income, no job, no assets, waved through Mandate-driven AI buys; MIT NANDA ~95% of pilots show no measurable P&L (Aug 2025)
Over-leveraged, unaware Retail speculators stacked across ARM-financed homes, sure they could always refinance Neoclouds: ~$7.6B debt collateralized by GPUs that depreciate to near-zero in 2–3 yrs (CoreWeave S-1, 2025)
The hidden-cost trick Teaser ARM rate that quietly resets later Stretched 5–6 yr depreciation on 2–3 yr chips; Amazon’s 6→5 cut is the first honest reset
The synthetic multiplier CDOs and synthetic CDOs stacked on the same bonds Circular financing: Nvidia ⇄ CoreWeave ⇄ OpenAI ⇄ Microsoft (supplier = shareholder = customer = backstop)
The rubber stamp Moody’s & S&P stamping it AAA McKinsey’s “$X trillion” + sell-side AAA on the narrative
