Patrick Boyle's three-part (so far) Youtube series on FTX is already a pretty good miniseries on the subject. Since it's running in real-time, not everything is going to hold up, i.e. does SBF / FTX actually have $100 million in Twitter? See ongoing froth:

The scale of political giving and media donating involved is certainly curious, worthy of more exposure. Somehow I doubt that's an angle Amazon is interested in exploring, i.e. Bezos seems to do a lot of that kind of thing as well, but who knows?

does amazon allow nudity? i wanna see something

This is a bizarre statement ideally meant in jest. SBF trading naked is not a double entendre I was looking for today.

My guess is that it's a reference to the stories about polyamory and the dating merry-go-round that was reported amongst SBF's inner circle that lived in the Bahamas penthouse.

Hopefully they're properly negative on SBF as opposed to the mainstream media that seems to be still effusing his praise or at least being neutral. Also there's still the criminal charges to come after this. I don't really understand why he's not already in prison.

The wheels of the law grind slowly. Look at Elizabeth Holmes. The WSJ article that started her downfall came out in 2015. And she's still walking around free (for now).

Holmes is an interesting case because she got the opposite treatment as SBF: the press started running negative stories almost immediately while the tech industry was still neutral-to-defensive.
