The author left out the important fact that SBF was gambling with his depositors money, and he lost their money.

[@David_crypt0sheek]

Puff piece

[@ABlueDahlia]

He didn't. He said it in the video.

[@aeroandspace]

Specifically he didn't distinguish between dollars his users said he could gamble with and the dollars he couldn't; all the money and assets people put into FTX went into one pile, and they kept track of how much everyone could take out of it. But then FTX kept supporting one gamble, Alameda, without tracking how risky it was. When the gamble failed, there was a run on the pile and the people who made the kind of account that FTX wasn't allowed to gamble with found that FTX didn't actually have their money anymore. Why? because they never coded a second pile of "do not gamble" money.

[@MH-et5sn]

​@@aeroandspaceThat's theft, plain and simple.

[@aeroandspace]

@@MH-et5sn it's fraud, not theft. It would be theft if he took the money without their permission. They gave the money over willingly, but he lied about what he would and wouldn't use the money for. The lie is fraud.

What the hell is SBF?

[@RidingwithStymie]

Sadly, the rewards for corporate crime generally outweigh the risks under current corporate law. This guy is rare, in that he will likely spend some years in jail. But a soft, cushy jail, with tennis, a gym, puppy dogs to play with, etc. And when he gets out, he will have a billion dollars stashed and waiting. CONGRESS NEEDS TO STOP THIS SYSTEM!

[@Ozscaro]

[@mundusuys8739]

Blaming a 'run on the bank' for FTX's collapse shows a lack of understanding of what happened here - FTX was not a bank. From what I understand, FTX spend more money than they earned and was not profitable - it used customer- and investments funds as revenue.

[@MH-et5sn]

Right, it was outright fraud.

[@ahmadoudiop9627]

Sadly, 80% of the company in the s&p 500 are burning cash like a mf . Almost none of them are profitable and most of your retirement funds are invested in those companies

[@mikemixon3150]

Read the book going infinite

[@akeleven]

The difference between FTX in the stock markets, banking world is the fantasy that markets & banks are real. They only work as long as everybody believes in them.

[@LuigiMordelAlaume]

The fatal blow was the collapse of their self-created coin - FTT I think it was called. They basically used it to balance their books so when it collapsed (likely because the Binance guy offloaded the hundreds of millions in FTT that Bankman-Fried paid him to buy him out), FTX's liquidity evaporated.

[@flexmasterson4297]

What the hell os the AG doing giving an interview on the eve of trial. What a scam.

[@lbwalker4694]

Every day is the eve of a trial lol. He didn't talk about any specific case.

When ftx was paying all these ppl for endorsements and services, who was looking at those contracts and cutting checks? Were there no attorneys involved at all? This seems like the most obvious grift and incompetence of all time. And no one saw any red flags? This is so amazing (but predictable) given the players..

[@timsmusic7349]

SBF’s dad and mom were all over it grabbing cash like there was no tomorrow. They were gifted millions from FTX. This was a pay me first and let the chips fall where they may. Just like our country, 33 trillion + in debt and most of that money that was borrowed is in the net worth of the wealthy. A dollar doesn’t simply disappear. What are the chances that it’s given back to the people??

[@relocatetoItaly]

[@debbiedecelle1074]

The reason and the reason he’s never had to say notified us, because Biden is not running the show. You need to ask the right question who is running the show, and then asked that same question of them

[@lawrenceladd30]

Are y'all bots, blind or willfully ignorant? Garlands dereliction of duty is not only stunning and appalling, but it is also blatantly obvious by his conduct. I held out hope 60 minutes would at least tell a little truth, but they like all corporate/state media are irredeemable just like most liberals that allow their emotions and personal feelings to cloud their judgement, logic and reason. It will literally take the collapse of this nation to wake you all up from your slumber. Then again it will probably get blamed on conservatives, or the former president.

[@TheRoseChunsa]

Respectful Attorney General Merrick Galand is working under tremendous pressure to make final decision between two presidents’ cases. We have to trust his decision and obey the law. No violence, No threats. He remind me Joseph in Bible. He has a mission impossible for equal justice for all! Please act civilized no matter what outcome will be. We’ll pray for him and his family’s safety. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗

Journalists are supposed to be reporting on current events, not running ahead, predicting elections, years into the future, like soothsayers. Don't tell me what nor how to think. Just tell me the truth and I'll make my own judgements. Keep your eyes on the politicians we elect on both sides of the aisle. Truth lies somewhere in between. BR 😎

It goes the other way as well, people don't have that right over you, you should be grateful and more optimistic about it.
