1407 Broadway was, as far as the financiers of Wall Street could tell, as rock-solid an asset as could possibly exist. Located in the heart of Manhattan’s storied Garment District, its entrance cut from white marble flecked with a soft bronze terrazzo motif, the 43-floor tower was a money-minting machine with a never-ending roster of well-heeled corporate tenants.
So when the owners floated a $350 million bond backed by the building’s rental income in 2019, the bulk of the debt was stamped with a AAA credit rating, the highest grade awarded by ratings firms. Not even US Treasury bonds, the North Star for global financial markets, are deemed that safe. But 1407 Broadway, the thinking went, was so impervious to the vagaries of economic cycles that a default was unfathomable — nothing more than a once-in-5,000 years kind of freak event.
On June 17 — four years and 212 days after the bond was issued — investors in the AAA rated chunk of debt were informed they wouldn’t be getting the full $1 million interest payment they were owed that month. They’re now foreclosing on the building to salvage whatever they can of their investment.

Trump’s Truth Social is worth almost as much as Elon Musk’s X as Trump Media jumps another 20%
Donald Trump’s meme stock is booming thanks to a surge in confidence that the former president is on track for a triumphant return to the Oval Office.
Momentum seems to be on the side of Trump in the final stretch of the campaign. He did a high-profile three-hour podcast with Joe Rogan before later hosting a rally at a packed Madison Square Garden in New York alongside his “Dark MAGA” benefactor, Elon Musk.
Shares in Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) jumped by more than 11% on Friday amid heavy volume—usually a bullish sentiment indicator—and rose more than 8% in early trading Monday. They've now reached their highest level since mid-July, making the modest social media platform almost as valuable as Elon Musk's X.
Even skeptics who distrust the heavily-favored Trump odds found on prediction markets like Polymarket, such as hedge fund legend Paul Tudor Jones, are positioning their portfolio to reflect the growing likelihood of a second Trump administration.
The financially troubled parent of Truth Social now is worth a whopping $8.3 billion, a stunning reversal following September’s historic lows and not far from the estimated $9.4 billion value of Musk's far larger X platform. This comes despite a hefty second-quarter loss and embryonic revenue approximately equivalent to the average turnover generated by four Starbucks stores.
Traders are however betting traffic to the company’s platform will soar should his Truth Social account—currently followed only by 8 million users—become the preferred method for his second administration when addressing American voters.
Even political blunders don’t seem to diminish enthusiasm for another term in the final days. A comedian and Trump campaigner called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at this weekend’s Madison Square Garden rally and joked that he and a Black friend of his carved watermelons for Halloween.
The resurrection of Trump's political fortunes means TMTG has gained nearly a third in value over the past five trading sessions. His own 57% personal stake in the company has similarly ballooned, and is now worth $4.4 billion.
