Doesn't explain why they'd never get with the time and accept electronic submissions, which are probably easier on their end too.
Federal courts accept (and often have rules requiring-by-default, for most purpose) electronic submission.
Is there some reason why this kind of stuff is typed up on a typwriter?

There is a method to the madness. Double spacing allows for manual markup and edits, for example.

If anyone is curious as it took me a bit to decipher (and I consider myself quite familiar with shell scripting!):
read X Y

echo "$X" \

madoff operated from 01960 to 02008 kyc is from 02002
His Ponzi scheme started in 1991. Ponzi schemes are exponential, so more than 90% of the volume was after 2002. What's with the leading zeros?
Can we discus recovery? The Madoff trustee was able to recover something like 90% of the Madoff Ponzi. Alameda and FTX's real estate purchases have value, as do their VC investments, purchases of bank stock, etc. In other words, it's not all gone. My understanding is that even some of the political contributions can be clawed back. FTX's purchases of IOU's (i.e., crypto) that declined in value are not likely to be re…
Is there a reason why they did this before and not after he appeared in the previously upcoming congressional hearing?

No it wouldn't. C-Span isn't broadcast for one thing, for a second it's newsworthy, and for a third they could just say/write 'I f**ed up' The US is so babyish about this stuff. One day people shout about free speech absolutism, another day they hold mock fainting fits over common swear words that virtually everyone uses. In other countries this would not merit anything more than an arched eyebrow on the part of a ne…
The US, like the EU, isn’t a monoculture.
Let’s see if his ‘I’m baby’ defense works in court.
It was a foolish move to open his mouth at all on the matter, let alone go on every podcast that invited him and took every interview to spout his self-incriminating non-sense and riling up the Media and the public's ire in the process.
If that was his goal, he has terribly failed to establish anything that suggests it will work
Worst yet... is his choice for chief counsel:
In the U.S., Bankman-Fried has hired defense lawyer Mark Cohen, who is best known for representing Ghislaine Maxwell during her sex trafficking trial, as well as Mexican cartel boss Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.
This string of fails along with his lawyers high profile cases (that ended unfavourable for his clients) makes it seem like he is screwed. He will remain in prison until February at Fox Hill [0].
Personally speaking, he and everyone affiliated with FTX and Alameda have face severe, costly and lengthy sentences; if they're going to go after influencers who lend their name and reputation to these scams then scrutiny has to be made for those politicians, media and VC insiders who also participated in this scam. This has to be the only inevitable outcome in this because without any oversight on that side of things this vanity given to businesses that operate with the false legitimacy of being licensed or regulation will never be addressed if it doesn't expose how those things are granted when you have resources to spend to buy your way into compliance.
