I can’t believe I missed this! Fave boys finally together!

40:07 that whole segment with Cas about Venture Capital inflating the valuation of private equity totally goes down a whole lot. I'm with him 100% on that. Having read Cult of We. It is so clear that is how these hyper growth private equity firms work. High valuations, no profit, hype it up, get it to IPO/SPAC as fast as we can so we can cash out and bilk investors to profitability.

Love you guys. The Three Musketeers. So informative & you work brilliantly together. 👏 👏 👏

the crossover I've been waiting for so long! i won't have know this channel if Bennett didn't appear in coffee's channel.

Great content! Discovered you guys thru Coffee, glad I did. Your work making this stuff more transparent is important & groundbreaking. Best wishes for the holidays!

Ladies and gentlemen….we got em….

Late comment, I know, but you guys do a fantastic job of keeping me engaged. High-level conversations and topics, but you keep it low enough for dummies like me. Loved it! Ty!

Amazing to have some of the best dudes on the tube in the same place!

O’Leary rushing around trying to put the genie back in the bottle is a curious reaction to all the fake money financial collapse , his 3 wishes weren’t granted yet .

I forgot where this was from, but there was an interview KOL & Scaramoochi we’re doing, they were asked about blatant conflicts of interest with FTX & Alameda, and the response was - there are conflicts of interests all over Wall Street and those are legitimate businesses making tons of money. They tell on themselves! They don’t care what’s ethical or right, they just care if it’ll make them money…and if other investors and customers get defrauded, that’s fine, so long as I get paid.

Nice work gang. Keep going.

You three are fabulous together. Well done

This is some real end-of-season content in crypto. Many of the big characters have been taken out of the equation. I feel like they need to introduce new big players for the next season OR make it the final season with Tether and Binance as the main antagonists.

⁠@@dorothygale1104 same thing - it’s obvious it’s a SBF whether it was the old alameda office or not. The fact he has ties to the Bay Area is not surprising - they all do as it’s Silicon Valley and Palo Alto is the heart. Caroline Ellison also lived there when going to Stanford. It’s more weird how the office is tied to Berkeley rather than Palo Alto imo because it’s not just the bay now it’s around the corner you know

Probably dumb question but who put John ray in charge of ftx? The bankruptcy court or SBF? If SBF resigned as ceo but he’s the major share holder what prevented him from taking it back over before being arrested? Does the bankruptcy court take charge of the company?

@dorothygale1104

Жыл бұрын

The answer to your last question is Yes, the bK court is in charge and the bk court put Ray in charge. SBF’s ownership interest became irrelevant once everything was put into bankruptcy. The logic stems essentially from common sense that the bk court in any bk case would never allow the person(s) who drove the company under and into bk to continue running the company because the “clients” of the bk court are the creditors of the company and it is their interests that bk is all about protecting by minimizing damages to them and equity owners move to the back of the line in order of priority. The proceeds from liquidation and recovery of the company’s assets go first to creditors and if there are any funds left after paying all creditors then the equity owners get that on the back end (unlikely in most cases). Keep in mind that clients/customers of a bk company that are owned something by the company are unsecured creditors and their interest is ahead of equity in the distribution of funds via liquidation of assets. In this case, clients who had funds in depository accounts under Terms of Service in which FTX wasn’t supposed to use those deposits for its own use are unsecured creditors in the bankruptcy and their interests are ahead of the interests of the equity owners. Hope that helps. Regards

If only the NY Times had the access to Coffeezilla's billions when they interviewed Sam. They could have paid a few grand to a consultant to do basic research and give them some pointed questions to ask, with follow ups.

I remember listening to a podcast with SBF and Sam Harris, it was about EA. I had no idea who SBF was at the time, didn't care about EA, I just wanted to listen to someone explain the murky BS that is crypto.

Bankman, orange man, conmen.

Taking hugely directional bets works sometimes and doesn't work sometimes. Look at LTCM August 1998. Those guys, far smarter than SBF, with years of successful trading were crushed by a 10 sigma event in a period of 6 weeks. They were worth 4.5 billion? (the equivalent of 15 billion today) and lost it all. None of them went to jail because they brought in lawyers right away when the storm started and truly were the victims of bad business decisions. Still huge losses in trading is possible even where the trades were hedge and done by professionals. The more success they had the more risk they piled on. Their convergence trade was a proven money maker and it worked until it didn't. When the world markets blew up bc of the Russian Ruble collapse LTCM was totally unprepared for such a catastrophe bc the models said it couldn't happen. But it did.

Do you have a version of this with locally recorded audio? The lag is annoying

I wanted to make a suggestion about the money laundering charge. I had someone file a fraudulent tax return iny name, changey bank info on file with the IRS, redirect IRD funds to a fraudulent unauthorized account in my name at a bank in New York, exchange the $1200 cash to crypto which escalated in value to $5000, deposited and withdrew the $5000 into a second fraudulent account in my name at a different bank, and that was money laundering. Although mine was a "small" case, FTX was by no mesns above identity theft, as we saw with the prostitutes opening accounts to try and trade frozen assets that were under investigation in China. My understanding is that they used the identities of the prostitutes, not that the prostitutes themselves opened the accounts (but I don't know if my understanding is correct, maybe the prostitutes were hired to open accounts). I also suspect the cannibis operations out of the bank in Washington (Farmington) might have been to open pit shops as fronts for money laundering bigger drug operations. But i really find the idea intriguing that the original exchange with Japan that made SBF rich might have been some sort of fraud or mone laundering.

SBF's cohorts began cutting their own deals almost immediately, i.e., cooperating with authorities. It's a simple case. SBF stole money from his customers. How he did it and who he did it with are just additional facets. These acts were not just bad business decisions. SBF will cut a deal and he will get 18 to 25 years and do 8 to 12 in my estimate. Remember Madoff stole from charities, etc. and did it for years. This guy SBF claims to be a victim of youth, crooks and idiocy and that might work for mercy from the court. Who knows but he is going to do some serious time.
