And maybe there are a lot of folks saying little or hoping it all dies down because they are secretly aware that crypto itself is a naked emperor they’ve been sycophantically praising for his sartorial savoire faire.

Let’s not also forget the NYT - apparently he will still attend their Nov 30 conference. That will be something to behold.

I see the politicians who received funds from SBF are re-gifting those funds to various charities. This should instead be returned to those who lost money.

Between SBF and Ryan Salame, FTX was able to buy a fair amount of political influence. I wouldn't be surprised if media outlets were open to taking bribes from him, the court of public opinion still holds true.

Two things:

1) The media (unfortunately) has a narrative. For whatever reason, attacking SBF doesn’t fit their narrative. Even when he steals *billions* - they are unable to go against him. It’s insane.

2) The NYT, WSJ, etc. have let their narrative control what they report and how they report the news.

Articles like this, Twitter, and Substack have become the real way to stay informed.

An example to further your point:

SBF admitting to fraud is MSM narrative violation, not worth reporting, but they happily take Musk to the pillory any chance they get... this time for daring to challenge their idea of free speech, or how to run a company.

SBF took a page out of the book of great historical frauds: bribed so many people that they’ll join up to defend him out of fear of being caught themselves.

Good work. WSJ is a patsy.

When the John tells you he left his wallet at home, you can stop. If you don't stop it's because you like it, you're dumb or you're so programmed you can't imagine stopping.
