It's the media's fault if they cannot be bothered to Google for two minutes that the chief lawyer at Alameda/FTX happens to be involved in a big poker scandal which... defrauded players.
Especially when there were tweets as old as 2018 at the very least describing the very scam Alameda/FTX/SBF was pulling.
@bitfinex'ed, a Twitter account which exposes tether for the scam it is since maybe a decade (and tether shall eventually fall), has been posting proof of all the wrongdoings. Including the ties between Alameda an Deltec (tether's bank in the Bahamas) since the very start of the scam.
It's also the media's fault that they re copy/pasting everywhere that it's "leveraged trades gone wrong, sending SBF in a death spiral".
That's not the story at all yet that's what these scummy media are publishing.
The story is that the goal was, from day one, to not only defraud people/investors but also to do a regulatory capture of the crypto exchanges market by greasing politicians and working hand in hand with officials and ex- officials who all knew each other.
If there were still investigative journalists around, there's material for quite a story.
But it's better to present SBF as an altruistic woke kid who, sadly, was sent into a death spiral after a few bad leveraged trades.
You are missing the fact that we are dealing with an audience that WANTS TO BE FOOLED.
Going against the narrative is brave but it doesn't pay the bills. Besides would it even matter? Does anyone on r/cryptocurrency even care what the MSM writes?
