Dude needs to learn to stop talking (that includes posting). And his Twitter image looks like a toned down version of him. He must have asked Zuck to make him an AI image that made him look good. "Trim my hair a bit and trim my weight while you're at it". lolSBF has made another blog post, fwiw.

GEMMIE, I agree he probably should not be trying to show the world now, how clever he is at keeping track of bank balances! Uh, maybe he should have been doing that when he ran the company? And probably not a good idea to claim SEC is providing misleading information to the public, either. Oh geesh, talk about kicking the hornet's nest.Dude needs to learn to stop talking (that includes posting). And his Twitter image looks like a toned down version of him.

FTX's CEO, John Jay Ray III, said Thursday he's open to reviving the bankrupt exchange if the move provides a pathway to return money to the crypto trading venue's customers and other creditors.
the Bankman-Frieds had a security incident at their home when a black car drove into the metal barricade set up outside their home. Three men got out of the car. When the security guard on duty confronted them, the men said something to the effect of: “You won’t be able to keep us out.” The men got back in the car and quickly drove away before the security guard was able to see the license plat
Could go either way in my mind."You won’t be able to keep us out.”
Was this a staged incident or a real threat?
A majority of the funds, around 55 million shares worth $525 million, were taken from the cryptocurrency and stock trading platform Robinhood. The authorities also recovered more than $170 million in cash from several bank accounts, according to a court filing published on Friday.
- Sam Bankman-Fried sent $400 million to Modulo Capital, an obscure crypto trading firm [in the third and fourth quarters of 2022].
- One of the founders was once romantically involved with Bankman-Fried, per the New York Times.
- Another, the Times said, was just two years out of college.
Modulo's founders have not been accused of any wrongdoing, but recently hired a criminal defense lawyer who is a former director of enforcement for the CFTC, the Times reported.
The Justice Department is seeking to ban former FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried from contacting any of the company's employees in an effort to protect potential witnesses […] after alleging that Bankman-Fried had spoken with an FTX employee who may serve as a witness[, the General Counsel for FTX US], The Wall Street Journal reported.
Sam Bankman-Fried's bond guarantors should be named publicly, a federal judge ruled Monday after news organizations objected to the names being redacted.
Any guesses on the identity of "friends?" I seem to remember $200K and $500K being the amounts "friends" posted towards bail.![]()

This will certainly be interesting. The ruling is pending until February 7 for appeal.
There are theories out there about who the individuals are (from family to friends to business associates), but there have been no names published by the media at this point.Any guesses on the identity of "friends?" I seem to remember $200K and $500K being the amounts "friends" posted towards bail.
.... not unusual for devoted friends to help a pal. By the same token (pardon the pun) there may be other motivations.
And as for the 3 men dressed in black, attempting to storm a residence in an upscale neighborhood with CCTV on every gate, in broad day light, stopping at the make-shift barriers screaming "You can't keep us out!" and security guard unable to get the license plate number??? BIG EYE ROLL FOLKS!! Definitely comical.
Sounds more like paparazzi-types hoping for some pics. Of course, in my opinion.
Judge LK said Bankman-Fried is not allowed to contact current or former employees of FTX without attorneys present, nor to communicate over encrypted messaging apps until Kaplan hears arguments from both sides at a hearing next week.
