We all know where SBF resides now thanks to extensive news reporting.
SBF case is so high profile and everyone is watching.
Even the ones who were burnt badly by his shenanigans.
Some even resorted to extreme measures to try to get to him.
Including driving a car straight into his parents house.
Guess they were really, really desperate to speak with SBF.
“Three men got out of the car. When the security guard on duty confronted them, the men said something to the effect of: ‘You won’t be able to keep us out.’ The men got back in the car and quickly drove away before the security guard was able to see the license plate.”
I think this is the reality that SBF and his friends have to live with for a while now.
At least till his trial ends.
The fact is, SBF, whether knowing or unknowingly, has ruined the lives of millions of users who trusted him.
People who took out their pensions and students who worked jobs after school.
People who blindly believed in his lies and those who even stuck up for him and persuades others to join in the fray.
Without condoning or condemning, I understand how these victims must have felt.
The pain, agony, anger, distrust, betrayal and anguish from losing so much so quickly so painfully.
Sure, don’t degen and gamble more than you can afford to lose.
Who listened?
I mean seriously, who bothered?
Everyone was in it for the quick gain and got greedy.
Some were legitimately rooting for SBF and his visionary stories.
But at the end of the day, there were just that.
Stories.
Fictional, fabricated and frivolous.
Forget about the small retail investors.
Even big time VCs and politicians adored him.
And now that SBF has a Substack, he is showing all his cards to the world.
Is that the strategy here?
To try win support and muddy the waters before his trial?
To exonerate himself and cleanse his conscience?
He even got into a war of words with the new FTX CEO Ray.
“One of Samuel’s newest bouts is jabbing Ray for collecting his paycheck ($1,300 an hour paid for in customer funds/creditors) and nothing more.”
“Ray clapped back, saying “crime is very expensive,” plus it’s hard to trust FTX employees, meaning he’s had to bring on outside experts that are pricey.”
It’s funny but it’s interesting to see it play out in the open.
It’s like a safari that you get to walk straight into it while the lions are fighting.
Actually, have you wondered why did the judge even allow SBF to be on the internet?
What magic tricks did SBF’s lawyers do to get such a favourable term in?
They must have some fantastic negotiators at their end, probably paid really well too.
Heard that the two unknown supporters that helped with his record $250M bail would be doxxed soon…
