Seems a very troubling title for this article. Is the author jockeying for SBFs death? I sure hope not. Time to dial back the rhetoric.

The title is a pun, playing on the title of the book "Death of a Salesman".

Obviously a joke.

If you read the article you would understand what this means.

I find it extra funny since SBF shared the stage with Bill Clinton and Tony Blair. Ofc I imagine he paid them a lot to be there, but still... He really wanted to be a statesman.

Like Jeffrey Epstein wanted to be thought a patron of the sciences.
