What Did FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried Have to Do With Tether? w/ Crypto Critics Corner
David is joined by Cas Piancey and Bennett Tomlin, reporters for Protos.com and hosts of the podcast Crypto Critics Corner.
They discuss ties between Sam Bankman-Fried's Alameda Research, the stablecoin issuer Tether, and Bahamas' Deltec Bank and its shadoy founder, Jean Chalopin. The evidence suggests Alameda was buying Tethers on credit, then selling them into Asia at a markup ... likely for nefarious purposes.

"Trusted Third Parties Are Security Holes" - Nick Szabo (2001)
Loved it. So needed to educate so many people on what Tether is really doing.
Bennett grown to love this guy.
56:00 the guys talk about the transition the boys have taken as being embraced by industry buildooooors. the people still around and operating within the space are somewhere between Dr. Morris and the critics.. cautiously optimistic is the highbrain take on the space in 2024
Cas is like the Stefan Milo of whatever this topic is
49:35 Some remarkable diaglogue about the ethical ambivalence when engaging with crypto currencies. As a no-coiner, I wouldn't invest even one milli-Satoshi into anything »bitcoin« unless and until Tether survives a few properly executed audits.
Larimer went mad
This guys kept repeating 'cryptocurrency'. I wish we got an explanation as to what they mean by that. To me, as a dev, seems like a very narrow slice.
Thiel is everywhere
Cas that beard is utterly dispicable. 🤣
Remember what I did to Brock
