Sam Bankman-Fried urges crypto investors to put their money in exchanges that don't do business like FTX

Crypto investors should look for exchanges that don't do business like FTX when choosing where to deposit their funds, according to Sam Bankman-Fried.

Speaking at the New York Times DealBook summit Wednesday, the bankrupt group's former chief executive said that traders should only put their money into exchanges that provide proof of reserves and regulated reporting of customers' assets and liabilities.

"I obviously don't know exactly what's going on at other exchanges. I can tell you what I would think as a customer," Bankman-Fried said. "If I were a customer here, which is look for the things that I wish FTX had been able to supply."

"Proof of reserves is helpful," he added. "Look for as rigorous of that as you can look for regulatory reporting."

Bankman-Fried's comments came in a wide-ranging interview where he admitted he had "screwed up" when he was in charge of FTX – but denied trying to commit fraud.

FTX filed for bankruptcy last month after a report alleged that its sister trading firm held a significant position in its native token FTT, leading to a solvency crisis.

New CEO John Ray III slammed the group's lack of corporate controls in a Chapter 11 filing released on November 17.

I can do better than that. I won’t be a crypto investor, and won’t put my money in any crypto exchanges at all.

If he had been a Trump supporter the fbi would have swarmed any property he owned in the USA, the irs would be auditing him, the NYT would be calling for him to be jailed for life, he would be extradited back to the USA, and all the social media would have banned him.

“Crypto investors” want to trade in fantasy and image and appearance. Here's another kind of imaginary currency — climate exchange paper which is predicated on appearance but without any capital value.
