"*Lerner told Vice that he was "very concerned" that staff, many of whom were in their 20s, would "leave the company due to lack of romantic relationships available," adding that some staff dated "within the company" which he said was "not a great idea."*
*Lerner said that life in the Bahamas for young FTX staff meant "limited social and entertainment choices." As a result, he was "always looking for dating options for FTX people," he told crypto advisor Margaux Avedisian, in a message reviewed by Vice.*
*Avedisian said Lerner was "trying to find women" for FTX workers to improve their lives in the Bahamas.*
What kinda weird company is this?? You have to find girlfriends and boyfriends for your staff???..... Well on second thought, with the amount of divorces around maybe people shouldnt be trusted to pick their own mates. Great idea!
They need to have some really tough questions put to them. Did they let Sam get away with that because it was Sam? Because I've heard Darcy Rahming of ArawakX talk about his company's requirements for onboarding firms wanting to offer shares to the public and one of the things he stresses as a MUST is a proper governance structure. So how could Rahming demand this but the Securities exchange doesnt??? It doesnt make sense. Then there's the pic of the CEO of the exchange next to Sam at the groundbreaking for his headquarters, it's all too cozy. I think people lost all their perspective when Sam started giving out money. The emperor has no clothes on but nobody dares tell him, *beautiful outfit your majesty!*
"**CZ, as he’s known, was speaking at a conference in Indonesia on Monday. He said last week that comparing the current crypto turmoil to the 2008 global financial crisis is “probably an accurate analogy.”**
As George Smith famously said "*why does it matter how you made your money?*" And as billionaire Nygard said "*it's our country now*". And as the chief executive of Albany said ~"*we invested, stay out of our business*"
*His money should be no good*?? You dont know the Bahamas government.
"*Mr Hobbs continued: “A lot of us in the industry saw this a long time ago. I got out of FTT tokens in mid-April.*
*There was something weird going on with FTX and Alameda. There was too much weird stuff going on. It didn’t feel right. I told people on my own team about it. I have some people on my team who have got hurt because they still have FTT tokens.”*
So this guy who was on the outside had no access to financial reporting or compliance documents could see it but the securities commission who had access to internal reports didn't? I'm not sure its appropriate for the regulator to be standing next to the investor at this ground breaking ceremony... too much cheerleading
I wholeheartedly agree. There are some things that the regulator should spearhead in the interest of the public one of which is customer harassment. Each utility should have a do not call list. Noone should be able to send a broadcast message to my phone either. Ive noticed unsolicited messages coming from private companies that I am not a customer of.
The only part I have an issue with is "nearing" 100% debt to GDP, a financial expert yold me 8 years ago we were over 100% debt to GDP. fancy accounting
It didnt sneak in anywhere. On this platform Ive made multiple analogies between crypto and the 2008 global financial crisis.. waaaaay before FTX even got here. The oodles and oodles of money that people made playing this brand new sexy security called a "derivative", then poof, as they say, the tide went out and everybody was naked, Obama was bailing out the 5 big banks and massive massive layoffs **globally*. And I wasnt the only one saying it. Nobody missed this. Say you didnt listen
Like Nicole it was **all** predictable. Like the 2nd coming you dont know the day and time you just know it coming.
I didnt miss the control aspect. Ive said jokingly multiple tines, well at least hinted at it, that sand dollar and crypto will be perfect for the antichrist.
Where were these million dollar homes that got all this damage? 2ft from the shoreline in "*Hurricane Alley*", elevated 1ft off the sand? **Again**, "*who could have known? who could have possibly forseen that?*"
