1/2 My dad unfortunately collapsed and passed away at the Wolves game last Monday night, he had to be carried up stairs from his seat in block 123 to be able to have CPR performed on him, his watch went missing when he was moved and we desperately want it back..

I don’t always agree with Bill, but can get behind this.
Many have expressed surprise about my interest in the FTX situation and my openness to the possibility that @SBF_FTX may be telling the truth as I have no economic interest or relationship with any of the parties. Perhaps some background on my life experiences will help explain.

USA Damian Williams: Earlier this evening, Bahamian authorities arrested Samuel Bankman-Fried at the request of the U.S. Government, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY. We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time.

Its honestly insane the difference here…shocking.
2022 SBF: Welcomed with open arms to an interview at NY Times DealBook Summit with a live audience laughing and applauding 2008 Bernie Madoff:

As of today, it feels like I am seeing double or triple the amount of promoted tweets as before. This is even with @TwitterBlue which is supposed to decrease promoted tweet visibility by 50%. Anyone else noticing the same? @elonmusk

Lord give me the confidence of a failed fund manager who turns off replies on tweets, still gets QT’d ratio’d and thinks people want to hear his boomer stories
We have a story to tell. People need to understand history from all angles. This will be hard but productive, listen.

If any of the co-panelists/speakers at the @nytimes @dealbook event had even a shred of dignity they would drop out of the event. Who in their right mind would want to forever memorialize that they sat alongside the modern day Bernie Madoff that is @SBF_FTX 2 wks after his fraud.

I'm hearing through the grapevine that something important is about to happen. Please recognize the fact that my elite social connections to people who are early to know things make me cool, and please help me validate my self-image of coolness.

Very well done email by the @coinbase team - received this note first thing this AM. Perfect timing and messaging, simple and straight forward.

I still think one of the most shocking things of this whole #FTX debacle is that there was a 2nd year KYC analyst in the COO role of a multi-billion dollar revenue business. For folks that never worked at a bank they may not realize how ridiculous this premise is…

To make an analogy that helps make sense of the absurdity for a broader audience, this would be the equivalent of having the person who has held up a boom mic on a movie set for 2 years with no acting background, being casted as the co-star in a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio.

Can’t make this stuff up…

So if Jeff Skilling got sentenced to 24 years for the #Enron fraud, how many years do you think @SBF_FTX will get? Over under set to 20?

This is a primary FTX US customer deposit wallet and is functioning. Take your funds out, and do it in tokens (not by bank) to self custody. It’s still working. I have reason to believe US operational budget *may* be in question but deposits are safe. etherscan.io/address/0x7abe0…

Thanks for the check mark @elonmusk. Looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for blue users, happy to pay $8 for my favorite app...down with the bots.
If you read this exchange and didn't immediately sell your house, dump your crypto, and move your entire portfolio to cash, then that's on you.

So many meaningless generative pfp projects being released every day with bs “road maps” and “communities.” You can’t build a community around a zebra drooling pfp, there needs to be something there otherwise it’s just a ponzi of ppl filled with hopium. Cash grabs need to nuke.
