After his fraud was uncovered, he was held up as everything wrong with the financial world. In this episode we cover the court case of SBF, where the money went and how his ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison told all.

    One funny detail worth mentioning. This is from the Verge article on the trial.
    “Cohen [SBF’s lawyer] said the prosecution was trying to make Bankman-Fried into a villain. He then showed the jury a number of photos that made Bankman-Fried look, well, bad: him hanging out with Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, lounging on a private jet, and at the Super Bowl with Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. I don’t know why Cohen chose to remind us of these photos, but he did. Yes, the prosecution was painting an uncharitable picture of Bankman-Fried but there’s no need to reinforce it.”

It shows that Sam was the type of person who would plan his image out in order to fool the public into believing he was something he wasn't. And it wasn't just the hair, Sam deliberately exaggerated how often he was sleeping at work (even staging being caught sleeping on a beanbag chair), purposefully bought low-end cars and wore trash clothing all to create this elaborate persona of a stereotypical geek genius. I think it's very telling as to what kind of person goes through those lengths to fool people.

    ... I remember distinctly that I immediately said "No way. He's full of shit. No one does that."
    That friend argued with me that he had the best reputation in crypto and I stuck with my initial impression: "Sounds like bull shit to me, scammer, guaranteed."
    Funny how vindicated I feel all this time later.

      2008 was heavily due to sub-prime lending in regards to housing. Politicians, urged by ‘racial equity’ that people of colour were not buying homes due to racism and prejudice, forced banks to lend money to people I wouldn’t loan 20 bucks to. And why wouldn’t banks do that if they are backed by the govt? Well it lead to the infamous housing market bubble that tanked the economy.
      What I DO blame the banksters for are using TARP funds for extravagant CEO payouts and golden parachutes. But blaming the banks for 2008 is like blaming the construction of a home for the fire instead of the arsonist

All the stories about them being involved in politics were public while FTX was still operating. Lots of people I know didn't like him and were starting to pull their FTX accounts.
      They were operating based on things they were actively hiding and everything seemed dandy on the outside. Really no one knew what went on, until the Bloomberg and Coindesk articles.

      1) A celebrity paid to just gush compliments and recommendations for a company, directly instructing their followers to support that company.
      2) A politician paid to favor a company or look the other way when nefarious things happen.
      Some reasonable degree of empathy can go toward #1 because they might have no idea, but you'd have to make a legal case for why all that illicitly paid money should stay with them. Product endorsement isn't the most legitimate-feeling labor (a celebrity could yap favorably about Soylent Green after making no effort to know what they're endorsing). I have no empathy for politicians who took the money to look the other way and pour favor on a dirty company: if they don't give that money back, it should ruin them. Maybe should ruin them even if they do pay back. I don't care about political sides etc -- this is a straight attempt at bribery and our politics shouldn't tolerate it.
      This is all different from a plumber who was paid to fix the sink. He's not inherently endorsing or favoring the company by unclogging a pipe in its bathroom. The celebrity and politician ARE endorsing that company and its actions. By endorsing the company and getting paid to do so, they're tying themselves pretty closely to its actions.
      They're not plumbers. They're not uninvolved.

    Did that exchange on Twitter spaces with Coffee Zilla come up in cross examination?

      Yes, so absolutely and insanely amazing to cover the basic facts and put some pictures into a short video and post it to RUclips in exchange for advertising revenue. Genius level brilliancy.

    His parents need to be jailed for the rest of their natural lives. They raised this pathological liar and then aided and abetted his criminal enterprise.

      yeah, that was definitely a fake show they put on in the court room.

      His dad is an ethic professional and tax lawyer. He knew this would happen and probably has millions stashed somewhere where he know the US government can’t get it.

    With that level of fraud 115 thousand years in prison seems more legit.

    His father was so upset as he saw his source of a steady cash flow dry up!

    With parents like Joseph and Barbara, it's not too surprising that Sam would end up engaging in a criminal enterprise.

      I keep hearing this but umm what was their criminal history prior to ftx? Seems more like a chicken and egg. He was already up to no good and they got involved and did much more "no good". Certainly never gonna win parents of the year but this idea that they're wholly responsible just doesn't vibe with me. He's a crappy person, they're crappy people. Some are where they belong and I hope that others get what they should too
