Sam Bankman-Fried: The rise and fall of the Jewish king of crypto
The Jerusalem Post ^ | Nov 14 2022 | Jerusalem Post Staff

Posted on 11/19/2022 2:42:05 PM PST by euram

Who is Sam Bankman-Fried, AKA SBF? Bankman-Fried hails from an upper-middle-class family of Jewish academics and grew up steeped in higher education.

Starting out his career at Jane Street, SBF opened up the Alameda Research trading firm and soon got into the cryptocurrency game.

By late 2018, Bankman-Fried opened up the FTX cryptocurrency exchange.

Based in the Bahamas, FTX achieved renown as one of the most stable and reliable players in the crypto field.

Hmmmm. Do you have to blame the Jews? Seems more like he was a Democrat and a weirdo than he was a Jew.

"as one of the most stable and reliable players in the crypto field"

Only self-proclaimed.

Is this some sort of piece to exonerate the idiots and fund managers who bought his snake oil?

The smart money in crypto is in hard wallets and not on exchanges. Crypto should only go on exchanges for a short bit if necessary in order to... exchange.

Pension funds which normally are held long term, should be held in hard wallets controlled by real people who are beholden to corporate policies.

Storing crypto long term in unregulated exchanges is just plain stupid.

My question is...since the destruction of ftx basically destroyed billions of dollars, does this decrease inflation any?

True that, or to zero. No one rings a bell at the top. I did just fine by not being too greedy.

And so Sampson grabbed 300 Crypto Foxes, and then took torches, and turned the foxes tail to tail and put one torch in the middle between two tails.

And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.

Then the Philistines said, “Who has done this?”

And they answered, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion.” So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.

Jews are an easy target ... even by other Jews.

SBF is another sociopath in the world big government and finance.

This strikes me as an odd article to be published by this source.
Until this post I had no idea this SOB is Jewish, and that was fine as his “Race” is irrelevant to the crime.
So why would a Jewish organization make this point?
You would think they would be doing the opposite if possible, it’s not like the anti-semitic types do not have enough to complain about already.
