Hahaha. I think you should go through that list and find out how many of those "conspiracy theories" turned out to be true. Or are you the kind of person who pretends Hunter's laptop was "Russian disinformation" and Ghislaine Maxwell some how committed sex trafficking offenses without having any clients?
Here's the problem with SBF or that gerbil Caroline going to jail... US holders are made whole as FTX.US was regulated. Hypothecating the .com clients into Alameda would be fraud in the US but they have no jurisdiction on the Bahamas corp. The good news? There is a group of Kazakh hitters looking for those two.
Patrick Boyle (a youtuber with a proper Irish wit) speculates that the hack was really SBF pulling funds for the bahamian authorities. He also said that FTX.US was actually about as regulated similar to TurboTax and so there might be little protection for US holders. They weren't regulated like a bank (FDIC) or broker (SPIC) or as an exchange (whatever SRO would support that).
Thursday’s announcement by the Securities Commission of the Bahamas (SCB) that on November 12, the SCB “took the action of directing the transfer of all digital assets of FTX Digital Markets Ltd. (FTX DM) to a digital wallet controlled by the Commission, for safekeeping.” FTX’s former CEO/founder Sam Bankman-Fried reportedly organized the transfers at the Bahamian government’s direction.
But several US based equity firms invested directly in the HK and Bahamian units if I read correctly.
