First let’s assume that alameda’s position goes to zero for a loss to FTX of $1.3bn.
Net of customer deposits that’s $13.7bn

The exchange should never lose money if a customer gets liquidated. There is no excuse giving you hedge fund alameda an account with liquidation turned off.

All this talk about what Alameda did is misdirection. It doesn’t matter how they hedged or didn’t hedge, or what dogshit was in their portfolio.

If you want to do some explaining tell us why you thought it was a good idea to give your hedge fund an account with the liquidation feature turned off?

"The company FTX, in its bankruptcy filing appears to have held tens-of-billions in American “military aid” to Ukraine."

1/ First off, there was this crazy high inflation that was happening in countries all around the world 💰💸. It was causing all sorts of economic problems and making life hard for a lot of people. #inflation #PCE 
2/ Then, the Omicron coronavirus variant started spreading and it was a total nightmare 🤒🤮. People were getting sick left and right and it was just chaos. #COVIDIsAirborne
SBF is currently held in Fox Hill Prison, the only jail facility in The Bahamas.

This is coming on the heels of the letter @RepTomEmmer organized (signed by the other members of the shamefully bipartisan #Blockchain8) to @GaryGensler and @SECGov telling them to stop investigating #FTX. #FTXscam
lol.
lol.
Surely it's a coincidence that #FTX was tied for 10th place on @RepTomEmmer's "most generous donors"?
@tomemmer ran interference for the #FTXScam. Now he is desperately trying to shift blame onto @SECGov after he tried to stop them from doing their job

2/On #Kanye ban
Inciting violence is against the law. In my view posting swastikas is an incitement to violence. The context is important, he is saying he likes Hitler; Alex Jones is telling him to calm down; I made the decision; I wanted to punch Kanye.

3/ On freedom of expression and trust
Politicians routinely lie, hide facts, evade taxes, help their kin with lucrative contracts. Media is complicit mostly because of the negative repercussions they might have to face.
They falsify or hide records, they blame things on opponents. A thread 🧵 for your awareness👇

President Biden's administration is scrambling to track the nearly $20 billion in military aid it has sent to Ukraine as Republicans warn of impending audits when they take control of the House in January.
Isn’t this enough for proof Mr. Biden

@andrewrsorkin will have his chance to question SBF on Wednesday.
Here are 6 questions I would ask--but doubt he will.

2/ Stealing Customer Funds
The FTX Terms of Service are very clear that customer assets belong to the customer--not to FTX.
You realize it was illegal for you to misappropriate assets from your customers' accounts, right?

Why has #Tether had 6 DIFFERENT accountants/auditors in the past 5 years? Why doesn't a $66 billion institution hire a Big Four accountant? This is some serious AUDITOR INSTABILITY for a supposed 'StableCoin'. How is Tether linked to SBF's fraud? 1/4 #WTF #SBF_FTX #Tether
Deltec Bank Bahamas doesn't look like a $66 billion dollar institution to me. #B-SIFI
Tether's bank in the Bahamas is a quick hop, skip, and a jump from Sam Bankman-Fried's fraud. SBF has been regularly seen with the Bahamian political elite. It is a simple coincidence that they can jog over to each other? If Tether has $66 billion of real assets...
FTX and its talismanic leader Sam Bankman-Fried have fallen from the upper rungs of the crypto universe. Of course, his inner circle is under investigation. Among them is Nishad Singh, an Indian-origin engineer who was also his housemate. Today's story is about him. #SBF_FTX 1/6
Singh joined FTX as its Director of Engineering in 2019. Prior to that, he was part of its sister organization Alameda Research, which is at the center of the current controversy. He had joined Alameda in 2017. More on the controversy later. 2/6
Singh’s resume is top notch. He studied at Crystal Springs Uplands School, a top private school in California. He graduated from the University of California, Berkley, with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and computer science. He had also worked as at Facebook. 3/6

I'm calling it now. The #FTX implosion was supposed to be a coordinated controlled demolition of retail crypto followed by CBDC rollout/regulatory crackdown by Biden Admin, SEC, WEF, et-al, but it went off before they could all get out of the way.
Complicit VC's helped suck retail liquidity out of market, much going to Democrats in the form of donations. SBF himself was the 2nd largest donor to Democrats behind Soros. His aunt Barbara is WEF, and launched Dem leaning political operations just before launch of #FTX.
Meanwhile, SBF and FTX were consulting with SEC on new regs, hiring former CFTC employees, testifying on Capitol Hill, and exhibiting some extraordinary regulatory capture cred for a 3 year old start-up run from a swingers dorm in the Bahamas.
A very interesting #perspEctive on #cryptocrash and #SBF_FTX:
1/ A true scandal is opening for the Biden administration.
-------
April 25, 2019: Biden announces his presidential campaign.
13 days later, Sam Bankman-Fried, son of Barbara Fried

The exchange is magically an overnight success. SBF becomes biggest donor to Biden.
Election day, FTX implodes completely.
