I was on the FTX UCC for the bankruptcy. @SBF_FTX is correct. If it weren’t for the bankruptcy lawyers, FTX could have paid us all out in-kind just like the Genesis and Gemini bankruptcies did. Instead we were dollarized at $16,500 BTC while John J. Ray III paid $1M to each of his newly appointed board members to push through his $42M bonanza bonus package post-confirmation (not part of the bk plan we voted on)
SBF insisted that FTX was solvent and “could even repay crypto in kind.” FYI, former FTX executive Dan Chapsky also claimed in a recent interview that FTX was solvent and could repay customers in crypto. With SBF’s appeal approaching, the narrative battle between the pro-FTX bankruptcy team and his supporters is set to escalate.

coincidence?
The cognitive dissonance around SBF's appeal is astounding. I would expect "investigative journalist" to do at least a little research before drawing conclusions. He can be a criminal and also have been denied a fair trial. Both can be true. Who has the most to lose if a retrial surfaces previously hidden evidence of co-conspirators? Shouldn't this be lede that an "investigative journalist" should be uncovering? Could it be Sullivan & Cromwell, the same entity with deep ties to Washington that allegedly: 1) commandeered control of FTX and the bankruptcy 2) lied to the judge about pre-petition work structuring an entity to ofuscate source of funds to purchase 7.5% of HOOD 3) assisted SDNY in seizing and illegally liquidating creditor property before SBF was even convicted. Just so happens to be given back to SullCrom's own clients Robinhood at $12 (now trading at $137), coincidence?

I’m not sure it’s appropriate to claim political persecution after siphoning customer funds to pay for Alameda’s bad trades, apartments and condos, “loans” to insiders, etc.

Think for a second how many hoops your bank makes you jump through to send a simple international wire. Now consider this Do you seriously believe that one man single handedly structured offshore vehicles to obfuscate source of funds, onboarded to two federally chartered banks, sent $10B of wires, closed multiple 9-figure acquisitions all by himself and there were absolutely no co-conspirators outside his exec team? Imagine how difficult it is to get banking for a crypto exchange. Law firms who conduct extensive KYB, provide AML attestation letters, lend their indemnity all factor in. Perhaps it is in the realm of possibility that the persecution was not conducted in a fair manner and there were greater incentives in motion
100% agreed. This is no longer about @SBF_FTX this is about restoring the public’s faith in the US Justice Dept. *We* deserve a retrial, we deserve to know the truth. Who received my life savings and why was only $500k of $100M returned to creditors in the largest ever campaign finance fraud in American history - with zero politicians implicated to boot. x.com/arush/status/197818239…

True, and the fact that the DOJ decided to step in when and how it did is worth investigating - but FTX did wrong by (accidentally or intentionally) failing to segregate customer assets, and intentionally covering and hiding Alameda losses with that money.

FTX mess messy, lawyers pocketing cash 🤑
Replying to @arush @SBF_FTX
🎯 The lawyers took 2 years to repay in $$ what could've been repaid in 2 weeks in kind—while customers missed out on a 6x crypto bull run—and then said, "That'll be $1 billion, thanks." Professional fees will end up at 20% of liabilities (3% is normal): x.com/MrPurple_DJ/status/195…
Replying to @MrPurple_DJ
Professional fees, increasing my estimate to $1.8B! Debtors have spent $206mm in Q1-Q2 out of the $449mm budget. Truly unprecedented and will end up at 20% of liabilities (normal cases are 3%).

If they hadn’t gone into bankruptcy, SBF would have continued using customer deposits, and Alameda would have continued losing money. It’s simple: just don’t use customer deposits to buy stuff. Enjoy a few more decades in jail. 👋

SBF already got a fair trial. Considering the number of lives he destroyed, the sentence is very lenient; life in prison would have been more just.

Mr. Guo Wengui has consistently emphasized: "We don’t ask for a single penny from America, nor do we want any help from the U.S.! Just one thing: stop supporting the Communist Party that enslaves the Chinese people, and that’s helping us!" #Free Mr. Miles Guo! #TakeDownCCP

If what’s being said is true, then the FTX bankruptcy process itself could be one of the largest controlled narratives in modern financial history. When lawyers, regulators, and insiders all benefit while creditors are shortchanged, it’s not incompetence — it’s design. This goes beyond FTX — it’s a mirror of how systems choose who gets saved and who gets sacrificed.

SBF @SBF_FTX was reckless, but I don't believe he was malicious. If everyone could have been repaid, then his sentence should be drastically reduced. Maybe @realDonaldTrump will pardon him?
