A 39-year-old man we will call Blake phoned this week in desperation. He wanted to know if there was any more information about the administration of FTX Australia.
Blake, 30,000 other Australians and thousands of other people around the world, are now facing the arduous and possibly hopeless journey of trying to recover their money. In a savage report released on Friday, FTX’s new CEO said: “Never in my career have I ever seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here.”
Other exchanges are feeling the pain after several weeks of FTX-triggered turmoil. They either held large swathes of the now worthless FTT token on their balance sheets. Or they used the FTX platform to hold cryptocurrency and watched their holdings evaporate. It has also emerged that Bankman-Fried told a VOX reporter: “Yeah just PR. F--- regulators,” he said in response to questions on whether his commitment to working with regulators to make crypto safe was just public relations.

This is a call to change the legal age limit from 18 to 31.
SBF/FTX was supposed to be greedy. They're corporates. The SEC was supposed to protect users. They're regulators. This is the fault of the SEC for falling asleep and doing nothing.
Pretty much what everyone with any iota of intelligence expected. Nothing surprising here at all.

The FTX horror show might have a silver lining for the crypto industryThe collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s cryptocurrency exchange has rattled the industry and seen billions wiped away. But one certainty has emerged. That moron needs to go to jail. He deserves jail more than the Luna founder. Like bank investing people money in shares and losing it all. As a trading platform, the fools invested from the other people's money without their permission and lost it and want someone else to pay. Great article

FTX had a 'complete absence of trustworthy financial information' says new CEOThe man appointed to administer the collapsed crypto exchange in chapter 11 bankruptcy, who oversaw the clean-up after Enron's collapse, says he has never seen 'such a complete failure of corporate controls'. People should follow ErikVoorhees on SBF as he debated him on a couple of weeks back. I searched the article for mention of how Democrats sent taxpayer money to Ukraine, who then sent millions to FTX, who then sent money back to Democrats for their slush funds. Nothing. Even during a war, Ukraine is laundering money for Democrats - and no mention from the ABC. Is this what 'unregulated' looks like? Or just top tier democrat donors?
