Re: Crypto
Have zero sympathy for any of these idiots who lost their shirts investing giant sums of money in a ponzi scheme run by a disheveled looking, late twenty something/30 yr old, badly in need of a haircut, who looked like he was dragged off the set of Animal House, who also was a far left, woke, mega donk donor.

I thought I was mostly with the pinkos when it comes to crypto skepticism but it's starting to seem less like it breaks cleanly on party lines.

This FTX story is wild. Aside from the biggest ponzi scheme in history, its looking like a total front for money laundering operations on a global scale. Wow.

Re: Crypto
Both sides of the political spectrum, newspapers, magazines, etc. Dems got $40 million (second highest donor of 2022), and R's supposedly got the same but he never announced it as reporters would "freak the f-k out" he said (which I find hilarious).SDHornet wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 11:12 pmYeah, any other person would already be in jail.

https://fortune.com/crypto/2022/11/29/s ... ark-money/“All my Republican donations were dark,” SBF told crypto influencer and YouTuber Tiffany Fong, referring to political donations that aren’t publicly disclosed. “The reason was not for regulatory reasons, it’s because reporters freak the fuck out if you donate to Republicans. They’re all super liberal, and I didn’t want to have that fight.”

NASSAU, Bahamas—FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried said he couldn’t explain what happened to billions of dollars that customers of his failed cryptocurrency exchange sent to the bank accounts of his trading firm, Alameda Research.
And he said he couldn’t rule out the possibility that money deposited by FTX customers who were told their money was theirs alone was in fact lent to Alameda.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Bankman-Fried distanced himself from Alameda, saying he had stepped back from running the firm and had little insight into its workings even though he owned 90% of it.
Some FTX customers made deposits by wiring money to Alameda-controlled bank accounts, with the intention that the money be used to fund their FTX accounts. That was a legacy of the exchange’s early days when FTX didn’t have its own bank account, Mr. Bankman-Fried said. Over time, FTX customers deposited more than $5 billion in those Alameda accounts, he said. Now those funds are gone.

Re: Crypto
Got a guy at work that harasses me every day about buying some Shiba Inu and Dogecoin.
Keeps saying if Shib goes to a penny, I'll be a millionaire! Then after that discussion, he proceeded to tell me Elvis is alive and is actually a preacher in Arkansas now!
