Disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is scheduled to speak at an exclusive conference hosted by the New York Times alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
The DealBook Summit, sponsored by Accenture, will be held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in Manhattan on Nov. 30 and features speeches from supposed luminaries such as Mark Zuckerberg, Mayor Eric Adams, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and former Vice President Mike Pence.
The fee to attend the conference is a whopping $2,499, according to DealBook Summit’s website. A ticket includes mainstage conversations, VIP Networking Sessions, Breakfast and Lunch and a cocktail reception.
The goal of the conference is to hold conversations to reveal “hidden complexities, unexpected relationships and the wide-ranging ripple effects of change,” according to the event website.

Close, but not quite
Alameda Research is a cryptocurrency trading company that Bankman-Fried founded, and which also has filed for bankruptcy. The CEO of Alameda Research is Caroline Ellison, who is tied to SEC Chair, Gary Gensler via his professional relationship with Caroline Ellison’s father, an MIT professor. If Caroline Ellison doesn't go to jail, she has a future as an elf in the next Hobbit movie.
Thanks for the correction
Indeed proof that a lot of money changes hands often and nobody talks about it.
I thought he was on the lamb. Ready to be extradited from the Bahamas.
Or on the lam, whatever.
Especially when a lot of that money somehow ends up in the hands of key politicians.
No offense, but if I was a multi-billionare, my girlfriend would have been just a tad cuter. No accounting for taste, as well as the finances of his company...
I’m not convinced he’s still in the Bahamas. If he’s not it would be in his best interest to pretend he is for as long as possible.
You left out- THE!
I guess there are still doubters about Ukraine being a corrupt state, in bed with Democrats and neo-con military industrial complex types that are just as corrupt. And you want to send more money to a hellhole that has zero national interest to the US. Shame on you.
That’s not likely to happen now.
So many idiots. Who would look at this guy and say, “ Yeah, I am going to put my money in to his company.” Imagine if a bank said what he said. “I am going to earn as much money as possible with your deposits so I can give it all away.”
Hopefully this knocks off some of the shine of the absolute Bullcrap the ESG DIE and woke nonsense consuming the business world. I have zero sympathy for anyone who put money in to this scam. Zero. Stupid should hurt and hopefully they learned a lesson.
He's protected in the Bahamas. The Bahamian government forced him to hack into FTX and give them $600 million just last week as protection money.
