FTX and SBF will be the grift that keeps on grifting as more details come out. These stories will continue to drip out as the media conglomerates cash out on that ad rev. I am already starting to check out on this story due to being inundated with details on a daily basis.

Follow the links through the other article gives this:

> Bankman-Fried and FTX “management practices included the use of an unsecured group email account as the root user to access confidential private keys and critically sensitive data for the FTX Group companies around the world, the absence of daily reconciliation of positions on the blockchain, the use of software to conceal the misuse of customer funds.”

Everything up to that last part could be chalked up to idiot savants doing their thing. But as the saying goes, the cover up is the crime.

The new CEO of FTX states that FTX had no accounting department. lol. > “The Debtors do not have an accounting department,” Ray wrote, stating he expected it would be “some time” before reliable financial statements could be prepared.

I guess I’m not that surprised after seeing that balance sheet from FTX floating around.

Not that surprising if they had to live in the Bahamas. Just means that they will lose their homes.

Nah. They have already siphoned enough money through shell companies to buy many houses. International money trails are almost impossible to disentangle.

This shouldn’t be surprising at all after seeing their balance sheet with round numbers like $5,000,000,000 in assets and $12,000,000,000 in liabilities. It looked like SBF made it in Excel while his LoL game was loading.
