BREAKING: SBF of FTX spoke with Unusual Whales and panelists today on Twitter spaces.

He seemingly appeared to suggest new uncovered concerns, particularly along wire transfers, tokenized stocks and that money was never properly moved to FTX customer accounts.

This is unusual.
Q: The money was never properly moved to FTX customer accounts correct?

SBF: The ledger entries properly, I don't know that the assets were moved over

Q: So it sounds to me the answer is probably no

SBF: That very well might be right.
Q: In your opinion, does allowing users and all accounts to withdraw funds that may not have been theirs but another’s customers constitute a problem?

SBF: Uh...It's a good question.
Q: Because customer funds and deposits were not backed 1 to 1, can you confirm with us whether tokenized shares of $AMC, $GME and others were backed one to one?

SBF: To my knowledge they were. But I want to get you a better answer to that question.
Q: Sam, are you playing videogames right now?

SBF: *clicks* yes.

Q: I find it incredibly disrespectful that you are playing videogames while talking to us...

SBF: ... do you have a question?
Q: Why was the Block being funded?

SBF: I don't have details.
There's a lot more.

The whole interview is Unusual, with a lot of fire.

This is wild.

Yesterday, a fake account Tweeted that Eli Lilly and Co was giving insulin for free.

It was verified on Twitter.

$LLY now down 5%, or roughly down nearly $20 billion.
Correlation does not equal causation.

But the tweet was sent 1:30 pm EST Thurs, & $LLY rallied.

"We apologize to those who have been served a misleading message from a fake Lilly account," the company said.

The entire industry is down today, as well.

Notably, as well, Eli Lilly was ordered to pay $176.5 millipn to Teva in U.S. migraine drug patent trial on November 9th.

On the 10th, however, $LLY rallied 1.38% on this news.

Guess who has been buying the stock recently?

Politicians.
Earl Blumenauer has purchased $AMGN numerous times.

The first purchase was made on February 11.

He recently purchased on September 26.

Blumenauer bought $AMGN on Feb 24th day of the Ukraine war, and sold for an impressive ~8% in two weeks.

This was on March 3rd, and May 11th.

Both amounts were estimated to be up to $15,000.

This is inexcusable.

A truly wild moment yesterday from the House Financial Services Committee, where they laugh about the revolving door from Congress to the banks.
Rep Hollingsworth: She has been a team member for a couple of years now but on Monday she becomes a Bank of America team member... I hope you'll take care of her.

$BAC CEO: We'll do that. Her father already works for us.

* laughs *

🚨BREAKING🚨

The $280B CHIPS+ Bill will likely be signed by Biden.

Numerous politicians had purchased semi-conductor plays before the announcement of the bill, and continued buying as it was passing Congressional hurdles.

Some made unusual trades.

Pelosi disclosed selling all $NVDA stocks (25,000 shares at an avg price of $165.05 for a loss of $341,365 on July 26).
In the House, Reps Don Beyer, Thomas Suozzi and John Curtis had the highest estimated returns on their semi-stock trades.
