Newly appointed FTX CEO John Ray III...wrote that part of his remit would be to implement controls and basic corporate standards such as "accounting, audit, cash management, cybersecurity, human resources, risk management, data protection and other systems that did not exist, or did not exist to an appropriate degree, prior to my appointment."

After reading all of Ray's comments, I get the feeling he is trying to give Bankman-Fried a criminal escape plan by pretending to be a wide-eyed innocent who had no idea how to run a financial corporation.

Will not help. The forensic auditors are going to have an easy time with this. It seems the criminal activities were not obfuscated in an intricate way.

The only wife-eyed innocent thing that he did was to make it so easy to track the fraud and theft. Maybe he was counting on the Rats he was funneling money to to cover up for him.

He did everything right. The democrats all got their cut. Only Soros gave the democrats more cash. His mistake was bribing the Clinton’s and Obama’s to hang out “with the cool kids.” Their egos wouldn’t allow some snot nose geek to take on the “effective altruism” money laundering scams run by CLinton and Obama.

A failure of corporate controls? From what I have read, there were no corporate controls.

If they sold crypto for actual money, then yes of course they extend to it. Fraud is fraud.
