Quote HistoryQuoted: Holy crap. I just dropped my kid off at middle school. And as I was leaving I saw a student that looked like the mirror copy of this guy's girlfriend. Same hair braids. Same type glasses. Same face look. It was surreal. Maybe she’s on the lam—witness protection in a middle school? TC |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The part that's missing is Sam's "investments" were FTT coin. A coin he made up and his other company, Alemeda, pumped the price of. More than half of their entire value of both companies, $32 bil, was FTT coin. Then, they used customer funds to try to prop themselves up when shit was going south which is highly illegal. FTX second largest source of dem campaign funds, behind Soros. |

I don't disagree. Just saying they certainly ran a hell of a scam and knew who to pay off to make it happen. |

When you make useful products and render practical services to others, value IS created. win/win  When you participate in zero sum financial scams, NO value is created. It is merely transferred from the losers to the winners. win/lose

Turkey orders seizure of FTX founder Bankman-Fried's assets Turkish authorities are seeking to seize the assets of cryptocurrency exchange FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and other affiliates, according to a recent notice from the country's Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK). The agency wanted approval from the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office to start an "investigation for various antecedent crimes and laundering the property values ??arising from the crime," as well as "confiscate the suspicious assets" under Turkey's anti-money laundering laws, the notice read. The abrupt demise of FTX, triggered by major outflows from the platform after the discovery of its multi-billion dollar balance sheet shortfall, has led to intense regulatory scrutiny on SBF and his crypto empire from around the globe, especially across jurisdictions where it operated, including the U.S. and the Bahamas, where it's headquartered. In its first bankruptcy hearing on November 22, a counsel to FTX said Bankman-Fried treated his trading platform as his own "personal fiefdom." Seeking Alpha

When you steal that kind of money, you should be more worried about the people you stole from instead of the authorities.
He might be able to hang out in some country with no extradition agreement but people can still get their hands on you. |

Quote HistoryI just rewatched that last week. We have people freaking the fuck out over McDonalds running out of chicken nuggets. Imagine bilking someone out of millions and thinking you're safe in some third world resort town. Walking down to the corner for a cup of coffee, a car pulls up and it's a shotgun blast to the pelvis. |

But if you are of the democrat victim class, you can also steal $999 worth of assets from 10 or even 100 different people and businesses, and the cops won't even arrest you in San Francisco. Shoplifting or theft from automobiles under $1000 isn't prosecuted. Clown world indeed. |

Sam Bankman-Fried says he 'misaccounted' $8 billion after FTX customers wired money to hedge fund Alameda and the cash was counted twice He then explained how the balance sheet combined FTX and Alameda finances, because the latter had defaulted on its debt by this point. On one line labelled "What I *thought*," the spreadsheet listed $8.9 billion in debts but also more than enough to cover it with $27.6 billion worth of assets. "It looks naively to me like, you know, there's still some significant liabilities out there, but, like, we should be able to cover it," Bankman-Fried said. But he then revealed a glaring oversight – the actual numbers were down $8 billion. When the Bloomberg reporter asked Bankman-Fried if he had "misplaced $8 billion," the FTX founder replied: "Misaccounted." He said that some FTX customers sent money directly to Alameda's account because some banks were more willing to work with the hedge fund than the crypto exchange. Then, FTX's internal accounting system counted this money twice by crediting it to both companies. No, really! Business Insider |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The exchanges don't make actual BTC transfers for all the buy/sell transactions on the exchange. The BTC remains in their control and just changes hands on their internal ledger. When you transfer out of the exchange, that's when a a BTC transaction happens. All the exchanges work this way as millions of transactions happen daily and BTC doesn't have the throughput to handle it - not to mention it would be far to slow for exchanges. |
