The following is a brief explanation of how 40m gold sent on August 21-22, 2020 has cost cat approximately 3.27 million plat and counting.
Cat's Pond opened sometime in August 2020 with a similar format to Cat's Investment Thing, which operated in Pendoria. Players were able to trade over queslar currency for a currency called "fish", which is akin to today's stablecoin. 1 fish represents 1,000p of value at the time.
Tarik sent two wires intended for Cat's Pond (see attached) of 20m gold each. At the time this was valued at 1.2mp, or 1200 fish which he currently still remains at.
