What Does FTX's Downfall Have to Do with Tom Brady and Gisele's Divorce?

A TikToker's theory about the couple's recent split has a lot of, shall we say, overlap with the crypto exchange crash.

I’m not sure if the Pulitzer deadlines have passed, but I have a strong contender for the top investigative journalism honor: A TikTok user by the name Culturework has presented a very compelling theory connecting Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s divorce with the fall of FTX. While I obviously cannot confirm the allegations made in the TikTok series, I am at the very least intrigued.

Crucial to this story is the fact that Brady and Bündchen went hard in the paint backing the cryptocurrency exchange now being referred to as a Ponzi scheme, and even starred in a commercial for it. Is it a coincidence that this high-profile couple with many millions between them split up right before an FTX investor sued both of them? Maybe! But when that much money is involved, things are rarely left to chance. Before diving into the theory, let’s briefly recap the public dissolution of Football’s First Couple.

Both parties’ PR teams worked closely with the tabloids to paint the picture of a marriage pushed to the brink by Brady’s football career, from the New York Post’s September exclusive on the couple’s fights to TMZ’s October announcement of their divorce. As someone following along with middling interest, I bought it all: I, too, would be pissed if my 45-year-old husband was secretly whispering “I just can’t quit you” to a football behind my back.

Sam Bankman-Fried in every video I have seen him interacting with people comes across as a nervous, inarticulate, fat slob, young looking Sydney Greenstreet type grifter looking for a mark.
That,and coming off as the quintessential predictable total monolithic progressive package (vegan, eco conscious,etc). Drives a modest Toyota Corolla (what, no EV?!??) Hell I'm surprised he doesn't identify as SAMANTHA. Also the CEO of Alameda Research is some giggling bimbo who admitted having no basic understanding of business and financial math. I admit I don't know Jack💩 about crypto but Sammy Boy makes my BS sensors overload

Absolutely incredible that Sammy Boy and his polyamorous pals were able to keep the scam alive for as long as they did.
