The saga of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried gets more bizarre and more disturbing, as competing narratives begin to clash.
Bankman-Fried rose to prominence as the Democrats’ second-largest campaign donor after George Soros over the past couple of years, as well as the darling of the glitterati who always are taken in by hucksters who promote virtue signaling over basic reality.

As crypto prices tanked this year, Bankman-Fried bragged that he and his enterprise were immune. But in fact, the sectorwide wipeout hit his operation quite hard. Alameda borrowed money to invest in failing digital asset firms this spring and summer to keep the industry afloat, then reportedly siphoned off FTX customers’ deposits to stave off margin calls and meet immediate debt obligations.
