+ he did take down SBF who was planing to give $500 million of customers money to Biden like he did for previous election
Regarding those videos where he clearly has changed his mind- Isn't it clear the guy is compromised? He also had some interesting connections to SBF's parents I believe. (Forget the specifics.) Our government needs a deep cleaning.
After 20 years in jail, SBF's going to be the expert at bottoms
I want to say thank you to CZ,he protect Binance users funds for real,safu wasnt a lie.Thats a big difference with SBF and FTX.Theres no innocent in this sector I think,probably any or almost all the Ceo of exchanges,brokers,market makers,hedge funds etc etc have dirty hands,but at least we can absolutely say with proud CZ WORK GOOD.He open the first bigger crypto exchange in the world,bringing on board millions of people in this sector.He dismiss and delete his stablecoin BUSD without users loss their money,doing gradually without a depeg after the law problems with SEC.He protect users money in general quitting his job and collaborating with the US government about his lawsuit of money laundering.He wasnt forced to go to US,he's not an american citizen,but he know that choice was bad for Binance so he didnt escape or other shit.So thank you CZ for all what you did to improve our communty and all good work.Good job,we well see to the moon!
SBF tried, even though he was sponsored by these guys, he got burned. A lot of actors that want to “play” with bitcoin, or crypto in general, gets burned eventually.
You don’t know if Tether is fully backed, or what shady past history they want to keep sealed, you’re merely assuming they are because nobody but Tether knows. For the past 8 years, they’ve outright refused to do a legitimate full 3rd party audit and not some bullshit “moment in time” snapshot assertation, with god only knows what numbers have been manipulated directly before the snapshot is taken.. 1 full audit and then all the FUD and accusations go poof and disappears. There’s an obvious reason for this and it’s not the bullshit excuse they’ve been giving for the past 4+ years that, “but, but nobody will do an audit for us”. You know, just one of the most profitable companies on planet Earth. They also could care less due to the fact they’re making ridiculous amounts of money without an audit anyway. For what it’s worth, I actually believe Tether is fully backed and has likely been pushing extremely hard these past couple years to legitimize their business and clean house. They know this is essential for longevity. But I have also have absolutely no doubt that one of the reasons Tether was able to rise up to the giant it is today was by doing incredibly shady, illegal shit throughout its existence. Which is why they are still refusing a full audit. There’s more than enough examples of this against Tether throughout the years for me to believe it to be true. (directly funding the FTX ponzi, giving SBF keys to the money printer, $33b USDT created and then unaccounted for with Alameda, 2017 bullrun market manipulation and the propping up of the price of BTC, knowingly washing money for the Mexican cartel, etc, etc)
Remember when they brought SBF in for the mock trial before the real trial so that he was sure not to mention certain things as well? Spill it.
It's the people that claim to not care about price, but as soon as the price goes down even slightly they're making dozens of posts about how happy they are and how incredible it is that the price is going down. Most buttcoiners nowadays are just people who got their pockets picked by SBF or Celsius and hate crypto because they lost their money, they never knew what it was in the first place so they just yoloed money into high risk shit and now will spend the rest of their lives crying about it It's so weird, if I lose money on a stock I don't make another reddit account and start making posts every day about every time NIO goes down, but apparently that's a totally mentally sane thing to do for other people with crypto
Internet Computer by Dfinity. It uses HTTPS outcalls. Other blockchains need oracle services like Chainlink to bring in outside data. ICP is the most advanced blockchain, 8 years in the making, but their launch was intentionally botched by SBF on FTX, so reddit assumes it's a scam.
Is that what SBF sounds like?? Wow
Hopefully he doesn't get stabbed by SBF in jail
You're right, SBF won't get 4 months. He got 25 years.
Those that make their money from a token, it is the former. Those with a large CEX, it is the latter. SBF was the exception to this.
He didn’t make up shit. Stop spreading misinformation. It is a fact that many people wanted him taken down due to his actions in hurting SBF. It is also true that he was charged because of tangible shady shit they found evidence on, but they would have done it one way or another. Both can be true. Stop burying your head in the sand.
yes 100% 2025 everyone calling 2024 is just influencers who are up 20x already and want to dump the market without losing upside. SBF really f'd us up, most normies think crypto is a joke now, like "what, you think I'm in idiot?".
I think what saved him is falling on his sword. Like he basically pled to the authorities, admitted he was wrong, did the whole shameful thing. Completely different dynamic than SBF. The other thing is he didn't rip off a bunch of people. It was more questionable profits Still, if I was CZ I would be pretty happy especially as aggressive as the American justice system is. They will put anyone in prison that gets in their crosshairs. That said does anyone know if he actually has to do time, like jumpsuit and minimum security or if he can do home confinement? Any of you guys done fedtime before and know?
manipulated by SBF, planatir, altman, tim draper, and more cause it's THAT POWERFUL keep buying SOLMAIL and SOLCHAT as it trends to zero cause the chain IS BROKEN 🤣🤡🤡🤣🤡🤡🤣🤡🤡
No. In the US, you usually do 2/3 time minus any time spent while in jail waiting for trial. How’s SBF doing?
4 months lmao, while SBF got 25 years. Dude won.
I know it's like comparing Hitler to stalin, but SBF's crimes were much worse, much more premeditated.
Binance Enterprise has always been a shady business. Just read what he plead guilty to. Including internally bragging about how easy it was for nefarious whales to launder money on Binance. Dude has money and will probably be in a low security luxury US prison. Also what are you talking about SBF was sentenced to 25 years in prison...
IDK why you guys are cheering for this. I don't think CZ actually did anything wrong, i.e., bad for his *actual users*. However, I do believe that the mere existence of his company, that too in a non-US jurisdiction, made it hard for American regulators to come after him, and that alone was enough for the US to find something to arrest him on. It's likely a simple matter of "show me the person; I'll show you the crime". The executive arm of the American state basically believes that everyone is a criminal and it's just a matter of what you can get them on. Of course, when they fail to get someone on something big, they'll just arrest for something small and use knives in the dark (i.e., state-sponsored prison killings) to solve the problem once they're in the big house; sadly, this is probably what will happen to CZ, unless he's even more powerful than we thought. Even more sadly, this probably *won't* happen to SBF, who actually does deserve it (just ask the people who lost money to FTX/Alameda!), b/c even though he's actual scum (unlike CZ), he still complied with the deep state in the end.
SBF sat in jail asking what the hell right now!
Would I be the only one believing the retail numbers are just not there to start this off. I believe yes they will come but not with the numbers of previous cycles. If crypto eliminated the likes of the SBF debacle and also the old skool word on the street that crypto is a scam, maybe we could get more adoption. This stuff certainly holds people back to get us up to the number we need. Just my pennies with and curious if I am totally off the mark here.
> he exposed SBF which stopped the politicos getting paid. It literally says he helped to launder money to Russia and terrorists, but apparently people would rather believe in conspiracy theories instead
he exposed SBF which stopped the politicos getting paid. white knight punishment
RSI at 7 on the 15 minute bars… doesn’t really get much worse without SBF getting found out again.
never trust any of these folks. after the SBF war wounds. you know not your keys not your crypto
i’m very glad people are figuring out my 230k mistake and SBF scars
I think he’s referring the fact that your bitcoin can absolutely be seized by the authorities, as what happened to FTX and SBF
Don’t trust the ETF. Another SBF will take everything. Mark my words. Get a Trezor wallet
SBF coin lives up to its name
There's a big difference here, SBF, until the end was in denial and trying to explain away everything. Really rubbed everyone the wrong way. CZ on the other hand knows what he's facing, he's not in denial, he's keenly aware of what's in front of him and knows being humble and apologetic is going to take him a lot further than being arrogant
Yet the people who set up SBF remain free. Also BlackRock obviously set up the GBTC to shed bitcoin to large investors for this cycle. Two cycle's in a row of massive manipulation from institutions.
If CZ ends up in prison with SBF who would the man be in their jail cell?
Wonder if VB gets similar or he ends up best mates for life with SBF
I love how many people “know who SBF is” but have no clue of & never heard of the likes of Michael Saylor, andreas antonopoulos, etc
I suppose OP is also big mad about SBF’s and Do Kwon’s rights being attacked by their arrests too lol. What the actual fuck is this
CZ took out SBF. SBF was their guy. They mad at CZ.
It is not about the revenge of SBF's parents but that of the US. Because they not only lost one of the few US based crypto exchanges, but they also lost their reputation and reliability. Otherwise I am pretty sure the US is doing much shadier transactions with terrorists and illegal organisations than Binance did and they would not care about Binance if they did not cause FTX go insolvent.
IF SBF's family wielded that much power then he wouldn't be in jail.
Bybit feels like a future FTX to me. Maybe the owners dont do an SBF, but I'd be very cautious. I downloaded that app, and within a minute, i uninstalled it. It felt wrong in so many ways. My scam sense was through the roof. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it was not pleasant. I just was like, nope, im out. Sometimes, you just have to go with your gut feeling.
I moved from coinbase to a hardware wallet. Sure, brian definitely isn't gonna pull an SBF. He's far too legit and smart for that. But what about when the government decides to do what it did with gold and seize it. They can't seize it from your brain. They can seize it from brian. There's nothing wrong with coinbase. There's plenty wrong with the US government. I trust brian more than i trust the government, but I'd rather just not trust at all. Dont trust. Verify.
My 2 cents. CZ was perfectly safe and fine until he got in bed with SBF. CZ is the one who brought attention to the issues FTX was having on twitter. SBF then losses the exchange, CZ gets to pick up the market share but now SBF goes to trail and ultimately ends up in prison. I wonder how SBF’s rich ass parents feel about that? The answer is salty as fuck and as such retaliated against CZ. Thoughts? TLDR: I think SBF’s family retaliated against CZ for exposing SBF and sending him to jail.
The dude knowingly worked with ISIS. Fuck him. He’s no better than SBF.
>the celebrity endorsers endorsed the product and were paid for their work. Period. That's the end of their affiliation with FTX, and cannot be held responsible for the wrongdoing of the higher-ups. >the celebrity endorsers were paid with funds from customer deposits. That may actually have merit. If true and verifiable, then I would agree with the need to repay. >the product endorsed turned out to be very bad and a lot of people lost a lot of money The same could be said re the tobacco industry in the age before warning labels, despite everyone on the inside knowing the dangers of their products. That still doesn't mean anyone who was ever in an advertisement should be sued. And for the record, it's not that I don't want the victims to get their money. Of COURSE I want for end users (true victims) to be made whole FIRST, then FTX/Alameda investors after that. It's not that I think Shaq or Larry David deserves to keep their money, but unless it can be proven that they were paid directly from user wallets, that doesn't sit right with me, and goes against set precedent. That said, if there is proof that this was how they were paid, then by all means it should be pursued. However, I don't think this would cover 100% of the losses, as a lot of that wealth disappeared when SBF was playing fast and loose and tanked everything that they had built. That money just doesn't exist (save for the assets that have been frozen and started climbing back up again).
SBF could've had more beautiful women than any of us could have ever dreamed of and yet he settled for...this
Almost everyone expected the price to break $100K last bull run. Perhaps it would have if not for SBF. Point is nobody knows where the top will be. What are you expecting the top to be this bull run? $120K maybe to be very conservative? The price could top at 110K instead so you don't get to sell or greed takes you over when it hits 120K. Now you will wait for 150K but the price tops at 140K. Until you've been through a bull and bear it's hard to understand the emotions an investor goes through. When will you know the bottom is in for the next bear market? There's no way of knowing it will crash 80% again. Maybe it only crash 60% because the etf's hold the price up and institutions buy before retail can get back in. Having to pay capital gains tax makes all of these much more difficult. Everything is simple in hindsight.
It looks like a smear campaign to me. Probably by the other exchanges due to the low fees mexc are offering. Look at some of the negative posts, a lot of them are bot accounts. Look at what CZ did to SBF. Everybody forgets this and only focuses on SBF.
Hot take: Its a way to get SBF leniency. Charges on actors will be dropped but SBF will still get the benefits of being a helper.z
Remember when FTX first went down, Kevin was on the mainstream news still protecting FTX for the following week and talking about how wonderful SBF was. Whilst bad mouthing Binance and CZ. Of course that cool $15m FTX paid him prevented him from seeing that SBF was a fraud and could never pass a BS detector test.
First Blockchain to run AI although you won't find it on AI crypto lists. 16% interest on staking or was last week. Heavily undervalued thanks to SBF. Actually really easy to use.
But SBF kept it secret from everyone. No one knew what he was doing. No amount of due diligence, unless you were privy or could look at the back end, would show that. Thats the only reason SBF got caught: CZ ratted him out on twitter. Or another example let’s say you caught CEOs at a bank insider trading. Do you go after the actors who promoted that bank on TV?
The celebrities have a lot more money than SBF. That's all there is to it. There is no *instead of*, by the way. They can also go after all those other people.
Exactly this. NO one knew. SBF and a few cronies were the only ones. This is laid out in the book Going Infinite. I was researching FTX as a potential place to put some crypto. Tons of people were. No one knew what was happening on the backend. That’s *specifically* why SBF is in prison: he kept it secret that he was turning USD > FTT token and then shuttling the FTT to Alameda and re-exchanging it for USD. He kept that secret from everyone. Don’t know what the feds are trying to do here.
You aren't getting your money back. You are just stealing it from someone else, ala SBF.
Also, let’s make a hypothetical and say they used Snoopy to endorse it (I’ve seen Peanuts characters endorse other things). Who are you gonna go after then? The estate of Charles Schultz? SBF and a few of the other higher ups at FTX are the problem here, not endorsers.
I mean, I could see his cooperation putting him in a more positive view in light of the top-down fraudulent use of user funds that tanked his exchange, sure. But the idea of suing Shaq because "he promoted Taco Bell once and I had a crunch wrap supreme that gave me diarrhea, so he needs to be held accountable" is ludicrous. It doesn't sound like this is coming from SBF, just that he's bored and doesn't have much else going on. And well - lawyers gonna lawyer.
Lets get the jurisdiction for a bare knuckle match with SBF and Matt Damon. **Fortune favors the bold.**
yeah, i agree that is a good thing but i won't feel like any amount of justice has been served until we see some real accountability from the people who actually caused or allowed all the fraud and the damage it did (beyond SBF, obviously).
SBF reveals himself to be Rat There i corrected the headlines for you.
How is someone like Brady or Shaq supposed to know that SBF was stealing money? The product on the surface looked sound, which is what they were endorsing. All of the criminal acts were conducted in complete secrecy. Should anyone who endorsed Enron be held accountable for not knowing they were secretly cooking their books? What you’re saying, if it were ever enacted, would be the end of celebrity endorsements as no one would put themselves at risk financially on the off-chance that illegal things were being done behind closed doors that they’d have no way of knowing of.
I think they are leaving out the other half. I think he's dumping the info on everyone. Yes celebrities are in there but it seems like the real part is SBF talking about Sullivan and Cromwell,etc.
SBF: "It was him! He did it!!!"
And in tomorrows news: "SBF found hanged in his cell with two gunshot wounds to the back of his head after apparently committing suicide".
Imagine SBF in prison if you cant get it hard.
How come? SBF is in prison he cant do the same thing here he did with ICP.
SBF with FTX, he manipulated its price with many other tokens
Don’t listen to this guy, he took my funds and did NOT use it to fight sea monsters. Our hometown (we’re from the same place) was just ruthlessly slaughtered and pulverized by a large kraken during an attack this morning. In a panic that something malicious was occuring with my funds, I attempted to withdraw despite his warnings. He SBF’d me and flew to an island in the caribbean with his mid-girlfriend, and is now living opulently with my so-called kraken protection funds and god knows how many other victims’. If you truly have BTC, please please keep it for yourself and do no trust him.
SBF, and other powerful actors, manipulated the price prior to launch. Ran hit pieces with their connections in the NYTimes. Sued Dfinity for access to their tech. All kinds of shady shit.
The recent increase demand is mostly from institutions and the same hardcore hodlers. Retail hasn't even started to buy yet. Most average people think Bitcoin died a few years ago, and they think it had something to do with FTX and SBF. They don't understand what happened, but they know the entire world was scammed and that Bitcoin was the way they scammed us. There is no "pump" here. This is just a recovery in price. Adjusted for inflation, Bitcoin still hasn't risen above its previous ATH. It's an organic, natural price recovery, not a pump. The price is ridiculously cheap considering there has been an increase in institutional demand and ETF's, etc. It needs to be MUCH higher than $70k to be considered a "pump" or a "bubble" of any kind. It's currently very cheap, and generally misunderstood. So what do you think will happen to the price when people realize it wasn't a scam, it isn't dead, and you can still get it under $100k?
problem we people's perception depends on "what they said". ;) like others (i.e. bitcoin when appeared 1st time) public's general perception was mostly negative. (I don't remember any positive review about it) Personally, when I read SBF's argument and its "genius", it set my alarm bells ringing from the first time. More when we started to see SFX collapse in the hands of that kid in shorts and flip-flops managing fortunes. Difficult to compare both. I don't hold my hands in the fire for others, nor am I trying to justify WorldCoin or worldID. Just analyzing the difference between them.
You people never learn. Another Ponzi, propped up by the familiar characters. (SBF, VC's).
This guy makes me hate crypto more than SBF.
That's what they said about SBF!
If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. -FTX-SBF
If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. -FTX-SBF
It’s just a coincidence, I didn’t know who SBF was until after creating this account
Such confused. Why make your name SBF *and* his picture if you’re not wanting jokes and references about him? What’s the coincidence? Sorry these are rhetorical questions. I’ll let you be.
Oh it’s just a coincidence, this account actually has nothing to do with SBF.
You user name is SBF he was referred to you being in jail.
SBF dialing in from prison to express his professionalism...
Very unlikely but yeah it could if they aren’t careful with custody. Let’s say their custodians was another SBF/FTX *poof* Bitcoin would recover from it fairly quickly tho and still come back stronger. I anticipate this actually becoming a storyline in the future.
Solana is a second rate trash money grab by VCs that include people like SBF. Terrible for the crypto community.
sol? Lol SBF needs that money!!!
he looks like the product of one of SBF and Caroline Ellison's orgies
SBF tokenized stocks on Luna now LUNC blockchain (you can still see them on LUNC @ coinhall. mAMC, mGME, mAPPL, mGOOGL, mNVDA etc…) why would this be a worthwhile endeavor? Seems something’s wrong with the us stock market and global economic system. Bankers always look for ways to create liquidity.
SBF held a position of trust and responsibility. He couldn't be arsed about the legal and ethical demands of that role. Coding and gaming is fun. Admin is a pain in the arse. Instead of dealing with it, or ensuring someone else dealt with it, they wrote a backdoor to by-pass regulatory controls. So yeah he might not have intended for any of this to happen but he didn't do the work and now he is where he is. He should stay where he is. No degrees from Stanford, MIT can teach focus and accountability better than 19 years in Federal Prison.
Anyone knows where does all the money go now? Does SBF holding it
I thought that SBF in the new Mean Girls. He was practicing for his prison bitch phase of his life.
Do Kwon, and SBF and Celsius and stuff like that if you can believe it.
Do kwon needs to rot. SBF is just a political fall guy, he will probably have the easiest sentence…
It was manipulated but you still think it was Dfinity, which is not the case. SBF in Jail, Dominic Williams not, go figure big brain..
