    Before anyone gives Bloomberg too much credit, remember that they were told about FTX's insolvency months before the collapse, and elected not to report on it, because it might hurt their ad rev.

      I wonder if this isn't in anticipation of that becoming a bigger story after his conviction. They were more concerned with having an invitation to the corrupt party than e posing the truth of it as journalists. That's the difference between media that helps maintain entrenched interests and media that exposes the truth in a way that requires resources.

      @@johnl5350 I have always despised Chuck Todd for this very reason. He always seemed too cozy with some of his guests on MEET THE PRESS both on the Democratic and Republican sides of the ledger. He wanted to be their friend because they ran in the same elite social circles, so he could only be so tough on them with his interview questions because he would see them at their parties on the weekend. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. It's just annoying and a conflict of interest really.

      They were part of the power plant for the Ponzi pump. If I could recognize it, there's no excuse for professionals. They not only didn't inform anyone, they helped hide the ticking time bomb. A lot of these finance media places presented SBF as a wunderkind, parents above reproach, all that kind of thing. Even when he went on podcasts and literally explained his business in the same terms you'd describe a Ponzi scheme, they never even hinted that this might be a scam.

    Well down technically. But it starts to sour the moment they build the scenario that FTX was “forced into survival mode” dipping into FTX budget as Alameda was getting pressed - as we know now they decided to use FYX customer funds well earlier (including 10M for his dad let alone all the millions for political donations and personal gains) It also leaves out how he put out directives to build in the back door to drain FTX consumer funds according to Garry Wang (which is now on the record) as well as other people in his inner circle to make use of customers money for his deals, personal investments … and his connections to SEC’s Gary Gensler - but then how you can end the film with his quote “I just wanted to make the world a better place” is just beyond me. There have been suicides over this! And you portray him as if he just stumbled into his own misery. This is one of the largest frauds in financial history and you offer him the soft exit? Jesus … not a good look.

    An interesting story but there isn't a single word about how deep his parents were into the money. They both have the age, experience and backgrounds to know that there was something very wrong going on with the multiple companies and the book keeping. The tip off to me was their comment "We don't know how the place in the Bahamas ended up in our names." I would have liked a little more balance to the story that included a bit of the family affair that there appears to have existed.
