Sam Bankman-Fried is something else. He seems to be incapable of stopping talking, both before and after this saga. He also seems just purely delusional. He's co-conspirators have readily plead guilty. He has a tough hill to climb. Regarding Sam Trabucco, why do we not hear anything about him in these proceedings? How is it possible that he wasn't involved given he just up and left in just August 2022? Why hasn't he…
> FTX International and Alameda were both legitimately and independently profitable businesses in 2021, each making billions. From the article. What are your thoughts given this? > Again, FTX's and Alameda's 2021 tax returns suggest they were massively unprofitable.7 Ah. I missed this point right next to it.
The source for that line is this: https://archive.is/LZ2FM
But it is more complicated than that. And unfortunately the "journalists" have done a bad job of documenting the actual sources.
> Judge Dorsey ultimately overruled objections to their retention by two individual FTX creditors. I think Molly White defaults to too much credibility in judges and lawyers. SBF's main argument is that Sullivan & Cromwell misled him into going the Chapter 11 route, which he later learned was more motivated by its ability to make hundreds of millions rather than helping his customers. He made a mistake in trusting th…

"But Breck, the WSJ, NYTimes, CNN, WaPo, et cetera, don't do anything of those things!"
Yes. Exactly. You can't trust them either.

(I still think Crypto is worthless, but the concerns about S&C in this case are likely very legitimate!)
I think it's perfectly possible that SBF is just dumb, and Alameda exploited his stupidity.
Once everything crashed, Alameda was all too happy to turn state's witness. SBF's best chance at this point is to secure his own plea deal with proof that Alameda is lying to the feds and scapegoating him. I don't see the feds going for this, they hate ever admitting they're wrong, but I suspect that's how it's going to play out.
What annotations software is this? All news should be reported this way when source documents are available. Edit: scrolled to the bottom of the page and found https://github.com/molly/annotate
So it's just the front-end, relying on you to manually write all the HTML. I'd love some software to make generating these (or similar) annotated documents easily. Any ideas?

SBF also wrote a later post about FTX US's balance sheet: https://sambf.substack.com/p/ftx-us-balance-update-2023-01-1... Is that post at all accurate or is it even more lies?
