Massive disturbance in the Force. Sam Bankman Fried (SBF) was rolling the bones to the tune of billions, borrowing massive amounts of money from his crypto exchange FTX to pay for his hedge fund Alameda Research's trading.

ReplyDeleteThat they would, LL, and FTX/FTT seems most especially valueless. Except to the Democrats. I feel there's a story here and wonder what the OLD WITCH HRC would say. Did SBF and the Gang get too close to the fire?

Imagine all those billions, Wild, and the jets, the boats, the beautiful houses.
ReplyDeleteAnnnnd, they're gone. Dam.
