The Antiyuppie observed FTX was designed to be a dem/leftist money generator.
It worked well…..then it didn’t......until Right after the election.

**************************************************

A very good point......the more I thought about it the
more I concluded that even the bankruptcy move was a scam.

Fried used the typical ponzi excuse.....b/c not being able to
control his investors wanting out sounded plausible.....
but he was hiding the real reasons.

Meanwhile he stole even more......as much as he could.

FTX incorporated in Joe Biden’s home state of Delaware. Coincidence? Not considering the shady nature of Delaware’s corporation laws and Joe’s shady dealings.

The hearing took place in Wilmington, Delaware, the traditional city where corporate bankruptcy cases are heard.

I read enough with that one horribly ignorant sentence to not even bother reading the lies in the rest of the article. False premise, false conclusion.

The reason the case is held in Wilmington is because the State is corrupt as hell and everyone knows it.

What's the Matter With Delaware? How Joe Biden's Home State Became a Global Tax Avoidance Hub

Bahamas FTX Liquidators Agree to Transfer Bankruptcy Case to Delaware

"We had filed with your Honor a motion to transfer that case from the Southern District of New York to the district of Delaware, and we are pleased to report that we have reached an agreement with the joint provisional liquidators to do just that to bring the case from New York and here to Delaware," James Bromley, a partner in Sullivan & Cromwell’s Finance and Restructuring Group said during the first FTX bankruptcy hearing on Tuesday.

Corruption in plain sight.

Nope.
FTX is a Bahamas-based cryptocurrency exchange.

See reply 23.

If you have evidence of that would you share it?

Notice no mention of China asset 'Gary 'Wang', the co-founder and man behind the curtain.

They will nip Bankman like a branch on a bonsai tree that is growing the wrong way and go about their business. And by 'they' I mean China and the Derp State.

Actions like these are presumably what led FTX attorney Bromley to tell the judge today that the company was being “run as a personal fiefdom of Sam Bankman-Fried.”
<><>a “substantial amount” of FTX Group’s assets “have either been stolen or are missing.”
<><>unclear whether the “substantial amounts” were stolen or mishandled
<><>includes several billion in combined loans that Alameda Research reportedly made to SBF, two of his deputies, and a company majority-owned by him; or are separate from them.
<><>SBF also raised $420 million from investors on behalf of FTX —
<><>only he paid himself $300 million of that amount, claiming it as a personal reimbursement for re-purchasing the 15% stake in the exchange held by rival company Binance.

A key takeaway from the first-day motions held earlier was that court officials in the Bahamas have officially agreed to let the U.S. court in Delaware handle part of the FTX restructuring case, acquiescing to a request to move a case filed in New York to join the remaining cases in Delaware.
Many companies are incorporated in Delaware through some federal state deal that goes way back and it is customary to file bankruptcy in the state of incorporation. There are US citizens who have a stake in the filing so the Bahamas is good with letting that part go to Delaware.

If politicians & their cronies would be guilty of/liable for various crimes, infractions & reimbursements, etc, how can this go any other way than the fix is in, evidence will be shielded and names will be withheld and so forth??

For the good of all, of course.

The bankruptcy lawyer outlined the main business entities of SBF’s family of affiliated companies:
<><>FTX.com, FTX US, FTX’s venture arm,
<><>trading firm Alameda Research holds the largest cash balance among the core four

The corporate governance in place for each of the main business verticals was minimal,
consisting primarily of SBF and a close coterie of intermingled deputies

Please allow a clarification: FTX is incorporated in Antigua and Barbuda and headquartered in The Bahamas. FTX is closely associated with FTX.US, a separate exchange available to US, pretty much the same company but in a different market.
