Assumptions:
FTX deposit base = $15bn
Alameda position notional = $1.3bn
Processed withdrawals pre bankruptcy = $5bn
2/
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
3/
Next we subtract the amount of processed withdrawals and come to $8.7bn.
4/
FTX stopped processing withdrawals after the $5bn because they ran out of funds. So how does Alameda going completely bust on FTX lead to a cessation of withdrawals? What happened to the other $8.7bn?
5/
Instead of telling us about the positions of the hedge fund you claim to not have managed, please explain how your exchange went bust when alameda only could have caused a $1.3bn loss to the exchange?
6/
Your ex has a theory of what happened to that $8.7bn, but I guess you have a different story? Why don’t you tell us since you are being so forthcoming with information. I look forward to your next post.

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?
1/ What happens now that Baron CZ passed on FTX bailout and SBF is bankrupt. The next question is who could save FTX?
2/
If CZ, the richest person in #crypto, can't do the deal. No one can do the deal.
3/ FTX customer deposits will only see recovery in a bankruptcy court, and that will take many years to sort out. Mt Gox creditors still haven't received funds and it's been almost a decade.
1/ There is a #China health presser tomorrow, if this tweet is true, and the rumours onshore that Xi may ditch COVID zero in a matter of weeks it might explain a few things.
2/ The US Treasury is thinking about supplying the market with more short term T-bills to alleviate a shortage.
3/ Money Market Funds like short term T-bills, but there ain't enough so they park their money in the Fed's reverse repo facility. It earns a similar yield. Credit risk is also a factor, but let's keep this simple for twitter.
3/ They did a "test" trade with the ECB and SNB totaling $3.3billi that settled Oct 6th. Gotta make sure the pipes work, don't want to get sabotaged like Nordstream I and II.
