    Binance will decide what tokens do well in the future and what tokens need to be burned.


    Binance is gonna have a short ass life. This is not over by a long shot.

    Scarramucci is one of the regular cast of CNBC “content” that comes on to pump whatever it is they are up to.

    he's a pos. when the female asked him a tough question about needing sam to bail him out, you could hear is heart drop. just another grifter.

    10. FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried invested hundreds of millions of dollars into venture capital funds run by firms such as Sequoia Capital which also backed his struggling FTX crypto exchange, according to documents seen by the Financial Times. The 30-year-old entrepreneur, who has been seeking to raise billions of dollars in emergency financing, has a $200 million investment in two funds run by Sequoia, the US venture capital investor, held through his Alameda Research crypto trading group. Alameda also had smaller investments in funds run by FTX venture capital backers Paradigm, Altimeter Capital Management, Sino Global Capital and Multicoin Capital, the documents show.

    FTC now "hacked" for hundreds of millions and their app is malware.

    Exchanges were the biggest reason for crypto exploding. Feel like this incident in particular gonna really erode confidence. This may be the end of crypto as we know it. Expect a long cold winter.

    Copy/P from some articles comment section. Not going to verify, too lazy. Hilarious if true.

    April 25, 2019: Biden announces his presidential campaign.

    13 days later, Sam Bankman-Fried, son of Barbara Fried ( Stanford Professor and co-founder of political fundraising organization "Mind-the-Gap), launches #FTX crypto exchange.

    The exchange is magically an overnight success. SBF becomes biggest donor to Biden.

    Election day, FTX implodes completely.

    If you think this scandal is done, it goes even deeper.

    -----
    Gabe Bankman-Fried, brother to Sam (also a former Jane Street trader), is founder of “Guarding Against Pandemics”

    He was a Legislative Correspondent for the US House of Representatives and an advisor to large political donors in the Democrat party.

    The family Aunt Linda Fried is a WEF member on the Global Agenda Council on Aging.

    The father, Joseph Bankman is a Stanford professor who has lobbied on behalf of Hedge Fund managers before Congress before (film records exist).


    FTX' Head of Ventures & Commercial at FTX Ventures Amy Wu, started with the Clinton Foundation years ago.

    Nishad Singh FTX Director of Engineering has spent over 8 million for Dem candidates.

    And finally Obama's Commodity Futures Trading Commissioner, Mark Wetjen was literally the head of FTX Policy & Regulation.


    Reports were the organization wanted to spend over a billion dollars on the Democratic party for 2024.

    Gary Gensler’s old boss at MIT was Glenn Ellison. His daughter Caroline Ellison is the CEO of FTX sister-company Alameda Research.

    The GC of FTX used to be lead counsel to Gensler when he was CFTC Chair.

    Sam Bankman-Fried’s mother was Hilary Clinton’s lawyer

    What PokerStars was to online poker.

    Binance is to Cryptocurrency.

    The biggest and the best.

    I'm sure Binance and Coinbase will be in business forever.

    Unless the U.S. government wants that money.

    I thought we covered this before. Maybe it was someone else. This isn’t ending with FTX. This is Chernobyl.

    Citadel, Credit Suisse, Sequoia, UBS, Bitrex you can add to the list. Maybe Robinhood - I might be wrong. Everyone was swapping spit. Bad paper & freshly printed stable coins.

    I don’t want to get too dramatic but think credit default swaps and CDO’s getting minted and sold between intuitions back during housing. Many businesses got punched in the balls. It wasn’t just one bank.

    Davidee’s Democratic donations were protection money for SBF cause shit was going south many many months ago. Meantime, the children were using customer funds to Martingale their way back to solvency.

    Think Goldman Sach’s donations in 2008. SBF knew it was very likely he might need friends in high places.

    SBF, Gary Wang and the toddlers are gonna sing. This soap opera is just go on and on. Epic cleansing. Few will be punished. Regulations will be created and everyone will feel better about the experience.

    There is the thought that redemptions Monday from every institution that was wading into crypto are gonna be colossal. I’m not trading that but futures will inform us tomorrow.

    SBF, Gary Wang, and director of engineering Nishad Singh have been detained by Bahamian authorities while supposedly trying to flee to Dubai.

    If true, did they just assume the U.A.E. doesn't have an extradition treaty with the US or something? Because they would be wrong anyway...one was just signed earlier this year lol.

    Dubai worlds richest and not many can Princes and Sheiks but scammers WTF lol no

    Scammers usually wouldn't think this direction either, a really wealthy or Oil type might and American not usually imo this whole thing seems to be going a certain direction i think now, and where it ends up now, its going to be interesting. Dubai is also a solid level if it was say a Govt total Op job because they know totally, only very few in this entire world actually go to Dubai, its a huge marker, and indicator id think. Whole story seems a bit out of a movie or i been hit in head too hard too many times now, maybe its an Op Job by the Gubmint lol

    This Caroline chick from Alameda Research is very fascinating.

    But before I get into her stuff, look at this:

    Sorry, I got nothing on this one.

    So regarding Caroline Ellison. She met SBF while working at the same firm. He convinced her to leave and join him in his ventures. Apparently they had romantic/sexual relations, as well, though both were also into polyamory, soooo....

    The internet has been fascinated with her because she's got all of the looks and mannerisms of the stereotypical female nerd:

    Homely facial features - CHECK (unlike "female nerds" in movies who are just hot chicks with glasses on)
    Big glasses - CHECK
    Nasally voice and awkward mannerisms - CHECK
    Greasy hair and disheveled appearance - CHECK

    Like SBF, both parents hail from the world of academia. She majored in math, which she proudly bragged about "never using" in her crypto trading (lol):

    https://twitter.com/tom_honzik/status/1591091791071440901



    Apparently the FTX complex in the Bahamas consisted of ten young people, five male and five female, all of whom were intertwined in romantic/sexual relationships. It's not clear if they were all poly, but I know SBF and Caroline were.

    You might think that a polyamorous chick without traditionally feminine mannerisms would be bi, but you'd be wrong. One of her tumblr posts identifies herself as a "straight female", and while she seems to have a fetish for being "physically overpowered" by men, it looks like men were her only sexual interest.

    She was also into "effective altruism", also known as "EA". Here's a fairly accurate definition of EA, from Wikipedia:

    Effective altruism (EA) is a philosophical and social movement that advocates "using evidence and reason to figure out how to benefit others as much as possible, and taking action on that basis". People who pursue the goals of effective altruism are labeled effective altruists.

    Common practices of effective altruists include choosing careers based on the amount of good that the career achieves, donating to charities based on maximizing impact, and earning to give. Popular cause priorities within EA include global health and development, animal welfare, and risks to the survival of humanity over the long-term future.

    Some effective altruists also pledge the majority of their income to charity, keeping only what they need to survive.

    The problem, as you might guess, is that EA also attracts scammers. Many fraudsters hide behind claims of effective altruism in order to lure their victims into a sense of trust. That's why effective altruism itself is a noble venture, but at the same time, it's hard to trust anyone who claims to be an effective altruist, unless you know them really well.

    Not surprisingly, fraudsters SBF and Caroline Ellison were also effective altruists.


    Now about that Tumblr.... I'll get to it in my next post.
