FTX's headquarters are in the Bahamas
back in the summer, in the middle of training camp, Brady suddenly needed to take a vacation with his family in ... the Bahamas
hmmm ...
I heard they got divorced to protect their money and homes and overall fortune. Makes sense.
Even the G.O.A.T. was fooled?
I was all set to be the next Mrs. Tom Brady, but that’s out the window, now! ;)
How is one defrauding people when they were defrauded themselves?
Tom Brady has not been himself this year. He looked gaunt and depressed at Robert Kraft’s wedding a few weeks back and not the same on the field either.
Obviously much more on his mind than a marriage breakup.
What a mess
Unmentioned about the primary investor motivation...... greed
Brings to mind the old adage, “If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.”
Brady got hoodwinked by a pathological along with many others.
That pathologic scum, preyed on Brady. I doubt Brady knew anything beyond a script.
A lot of his hard earned cash went down the tubes with the rest of them.
Curiously, I wonder how many convervatives lost money over this?
Rhetorically, why do some folks think an endorsement by a “celebrity” carries any weight? For me, it makes me more wary. They don’t have a clue most times. Just collecting the cash. 🤔😁👍
Isn't Zelensky involved in the money laundering?
“...the suit also claims that FTX’s yield-bearing accounts represent unregistered securities under federal and Florida law.”
This part could get interesting. A well-connected scam artist who gives to the Democrats doesn’t have to worry about federal prosecution, but now Florida law shows up.
The question becomes: Can the feds move all of the future investigations to DC, and out of the hands of DeSantis?
The Dems should be happy all the money went to Dem elections.
The other articles I have read state that Tom and Gisele were paid with an equity stake in FTX in exchange for their endorsement.
43,000
I don’t know that pitchmen for a product that is so fraudulently mismanaged should be held liable unless they had knowledge of the fraud. They are also victims of the mismanagement and fraud.
Hopefully, few people think that celebrity pitchmen have detailed and in depth knowledge of the products they pitch. Do your own evaluation before spending your money.
Some celebrity said ________ is the best tasting _______ ever, but I don’t like it at all. Can I get my money back from that celebrity?
OK, Tom & Gisele stretch out the divorce proceeedings and the bulk of the estate goes to whichever is least exposed to the FTX problems.
So it looks like continuing to play football and ruining his marriage wasn’t the worst decision he ever made.
I said it yesterday, but I’ll say it again today. Tom will have to go on playing football until he’s Biden’s age.
They could lose the houses, the cars, the jewelry, everything down to their ampersand and her umlaut.
Con men are evil. Otherwise, it is buyer beware. Don’t be stupid investing your money.
“If it seems to good to be true, it probably is,” - still a useful rule of thumb.
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.
The positive side of this is that another light is shined on the cockroaches and their activity.
We have a civil lawsuit
A bankruptcy
some political activity by republicans
And should be some sec charges
The more light shined, the better. We will be talking about this for a while I hope.
