SBF/FTX

I heard they’d approve or reject corporate matters with emojis….

@Jolly that would be our money, dude.

@jon-nyc no, I misinterpreted Jolly’s comment.

I still don’t understand any of this.
It sounds like maybe I’m not alone

@Ivorythumper whew!
I didn’t take you for a crypto bro. Lol

We can’t in the house due to MS’s work restrictions.
Good thing— I started seriously thinking about it exactly 1 year ago!

Yeah, just recently a Sequoia guy said it has done "careful due diligence" on FTX and "there's nothing much we could have done any differently."
SoftBank also invested in FTX but it’s the VC that has also lost a ton of money in WeWork, so I suppose it doesn’t quite qualify as “proper investor” as much as Sequoia.

If the company had its own boutique crypto currency which was valued at the most recent transaction price, which in turn was whatever SBF wanted it to be, then I suppose the bubble pop makes sense. But that would be the pop of a bubble that wasn’t inflated with real money to begin with. My question is where did all the real money go? I mean other to Democrats, as SBF tried to climb socially through the high status political ranks of the left.

@Horace The immediate answer is Alameda but it's still unclear what they were doing with it.
Also it's unclear when the shady stuff (using customer money) started. Did they do that from the get-go? Or was it an act of desperation over the summer when crypto started to go south that they hoped would be temporary?

@George-K I was reading that Caroline Ellison's father is the dept head of economics at MIT and her mother is a eon comics professor there. When she (Caroline) was 8 years old, she wrote a economics paper on toy pricing at Toys are Us.
She is probably alot of fun at parties!!
