Using a combo of #waybackmachine, the various company filings I pulled together (a very rough and error filled) google slide presentation creating a timeline of the various #Mercator companies and how they morphed into #Albanyshipping.
#seaborne so I finally found a copy of the so called prospectus from Apr 2018. All I can say is wtf. These guys have no idea how to raise money and what’s really scary is I think they believe they do.

#FTXUS Analysis - Thread 3
Following on from yesterday. Todays thread will focus on payments to #insiders made in the last 12 months prior to bankruptcy. Every time I look through the docs...I'm just amazed how spellbindly outrageous this whole shit show is.
In 12 months just over $25m was paid to insiders. I've summarised by quarter. 48% of payments went to undisclosed parties but since they are insiders and SBF only clipped a lazy $500k in his name...lets assume its him.
The stand out insider is the former CFTC commissioner #markwetjen who was paid $3.7million
#FTXUS shareholder analysis thread part 2
Yesterday I punched out a bunch of tweets re: the ownership of FTXUS aka #wrssilo I'm still working through the filings. I'm just going to post as and when I've got time....its going to be untidy but you know ...thats the I roll.
One thing I've scratched my head about is how did the FTX muppets end up with the shares in WRS directly in their name....since its the US operations of #FTX?
I haven't worked out why but I think I've worked out how.
Kroll scratched out a timeline and note that SBF, Gary and Nishad founded WRS (FTX US) in Jan 2020.
Not as a subsidiary...not as a branch office, majority owned/controlled entity...nope just straight up new shares to the Bro's.
@Annihil4tionGod it is. appears Series A Prefs subscribers also received Class A common when you sort the holdings you can see that the ratio c. 11:1 (common : Prefs). not all the names align as it appears that some subscribers nominated different entities...plus there's a tonne redacted
@Annihil4tionGod Taking a step back. So the capitalisation of FTSUS at liquidation was;
We know there was $400m raised this indicatively ties in with the 1.6B Class A common why the ratio to the Series A pref is 11:1 I have no idea.
@Annihil4tionGod There are a number of FTX employees that are holders of Class A Common shares but do not hold Series A prefs. I had to shuffle around the numbers a bit to work out why.
#bitfinex was also working with #coinapult we know this as they are referenced in the incident report when #coinapult was hacked in 2015.
So what happened with #coinapult. That's a great question...I'm glad you asked. In May 2015 (a couple months after the hack) they announced they were being 'integrated' into #cryptocapital and would no long be undertaking #kyc as they had a tip top fully regulated partner,
Obviously to effect such an important transaction #coinapult would have gone to great length to ensure their partner who was taking over the KYC and banking functions were who they said they were.
