the collapse of Creditanstalt plays a promenant role in the live of VonMises. He refused a position there because he knew a big crash was coming and did not wish to be blamed for it.

Quote:

One day von Mises was offered a position at Creditanstalt, a bank in Vienna. He said no.

“When I asked him the reason for his refusal, he told me a great crash would be coming,” Margit wrote.

In October 1929, the stock market crashed. A year and a half later, Creditanstalt went bankrupt. Von Mises had been right.
