People sometimes ask me "so are you writing a book on Twitter?" No one's yet asked the same thing about FTX, but I'm sure that's coming. This is something every agent and every producer is on top of like flies on shit. The chance for someone with no big-name access or connections of getting anywhere with it is about zero.

Apparently Michael Lewis has been following SBF for six months already[1]

Maybe wait a little while? I feel like we don't even know 10% of what's likely to come out over the course of the next year.

They didn’t wait for the game of thrones books to complete. Just write the future! It’ll be as true as FTX’s accounting.

God, this will be so dull.

Maybe they will cast Durin as Sam, Gil-Galad as Zhao and Galadriel as some DOJ investigator. The only question is - who is Sauron?..

Obviously Satoshi. Always behind the scenes but never actually seen.

So this isn’t really a big story yet, is it? I’m staying at my parents’ house for thanksgiving and when I asked them about it they both had no idea what I was talking about. My mom faintly remembered something about some crypto guy or something, but “FTX” didn’t ring a bell. This was very surprising to me because they are older and watch the news on television every day. I think their schedule is fox news from 5-6, then local news, then ABC world news (then jeopardy).

Oh well. I guess an international ponzi scheme involving politicians and journalists just isn’t newsworthy.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

“almost immediately” relative to when?
