    So the big reveal here is all the liberal/woke shit is a tool utilized by the most cold and calculating of the conspiratorial elite to look righteous as they rob and enslave your ass and destroy everything you hold dear. They'd be powerless if it wasn't for all the useful idiots.

    Larry Fink/most corporations
    Entire MSM

    who knows... I had $5700 tied up in their "Gemini Earn" program, and it seems Genesis Trading (their 3rd party business) might go bankrupt... been waiting 8 days on a "5 business days" withdrawal

    'Why aren’t you in jail already?’ Internet erupts after Sam Bankman-Fried confirms participating in New York Times’ DealBook

    Because it takes 6 to 9 months to complete an investigation into a case like this.

    Authorities are also waiting for SBF to say enough incriminating statements to hang himself.

    This was a topic at my family Thanksgiving dinner table last night.

    I say no way this guy sets foot in the US, certainly not next week. My younger, crypto savvy cousin says that SBF's brain is so damaged from all of the Adderall, amphetamines and other drugs that he cannot think rationally and thus will show up in NY

    something i think about a lot lately.... if mcafee hadnt tried to check in to customs with a gun strapped to his belt he would probably still be free today.

    or dead from an overdose but you get the idea.

    sam didnt do all this from the bahamas because he liked fresh conch ceviche, he did it because you can do this sort of shit there and get away with it. and while its certainly possible that someone decides to score some political points and send in delta force to rendition him through a hole blasted in his penthouse roof, im putting the odds of both 'settles down in dubai and starts another fucking exchange' and 'lives happily ever after in the bahamas' higher than him ending up in an american jail at this point because he really is coming across like someone who knows perfectly fucking well that he didnt break any actual laws.

    but really, and to your cousins point, how dialed in to the bahamian financial fraud statutes can the leader of a chemsex cult be?

    How about that future scam SBF's was setting up for his brother. He threw $12 Million to his brother to start a group dedicated to preventing pandemics knowing that Biden plans on putting $30 billion towards preventing pandemics, heck it may of already happened.

    Pretty clever, they look all righteous while they loot your ass for billions.

    Save the $30 billion, go get a box of N95's and a hazmat suit.

    This Moonstone Bank situation sounds incredibly similar to Full Tilt's attempt to buy SunFirst Bank in St. George, Utah. The plan was to use SunFirst to quietly process payments and list them as something other than gambling.

    Eventually it became a $10 million investment in the bank by Full Tilt via payment processors Chad Elie and Jeremy Johnson, in exchange for processing online gambling transactions. This eventually led to the collapse of Full Tilt, as the FDIC ordered SunFirst to stop processing these poker payments in December 2010, thus leaving Full Tilt without a processor.

    https://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=51636750

    I'm guessing that SBF needed a US-based bank to help him to shady things without asking questions, so he infused $11.5m into a tiny bank in Washington, with the agreement that they look the other way.

    Don't want any inconvenient questions from banks/regulators as you loot the company? Just buy your own fucking bank.

    I wonder if he paid in FTT coins.

    I wonder if Daniel Friedberg helped with the scheme to buy Farmington State Bank (renamed to Moonbeam Bank). He very well might have been inspired by the SunFirst Bank situation from 2009-10, having been very close to the situation (and perhaps advised upon that, as well).

    Clearly SBF wasn't just picking random tiny banks in Washington to invest $11.5m. There had to be a shady reason for this.

    pretty sure he just watched that season of Billions where Axe tries to buy a bank to get around some SEC issues.

    Yeah, I read about that earlier. I couldn’t figure out the why, but it was clearly very shady.

    This is probably the 4th or 5th thing I’ve read that paints a very different picture than young autist in over his head. And if he was a young autist in over his head, then the company he kept sure put him in a lot of spots that make him look very bad. His entire polygamist Bahama cult of ugly millennials come off as a bunch of sociopaths with no regard for peoples money rather than kids over their head.

    Strangely, in context to blowing through $30 billion, it’s all small shit, but it’s this type of stuff that puts me in the he’s going to prison camp. If I was him I wouldn’t set foot in the US, yet I think they’ll eventually get him wherever he’s at. Just too political and it’s not a story that’s going to go away, particularly with him not lying low.
