You see, he is rich.
Problem is, he pissed off a lot of other, far more wealthy people. Individuals who really don't like being screwed over. He's finished.
Bright-Ad-4737 t1_izzt1ql wrote
We'll find out if he's rich. Either all his wealth was in FTX, in which case he is no longer rich, or is isn't, and he might have some money stashed away somewhere. It's gonna be interesting seeing this one play out.
Nieshtze t1_izzv6t7 wrote
I'm sure he's stashed a boatload of money in offshore accounts and cryptocurrency wallets. I don't think the government will be able to lay its hands on his money.
The government will be able to take most of his money, but I wouldn't be surprised if he has a few million dollars (a tiny portion of his large fortune) hidden away in hard to track crypto-wallets and offshore accounts.
Kahzootoh t1_j00d8n0 wrote
Odds are they'll get ahold of his computers, phones, correspondence, and financial records to basically figure out where he stuffed the cash by going through the records.
If it is in a bank account abroad, they can seize it with the proper paperwork and court orders. The reach of the US government is considerable, especially when dealing with people are already incarcerated in US prisons. There are some places that don't play ball with the US, but putting money in those places is a considerable risk.
If he tucked it away in a hard drive or some other form of digital storage, they can probably crack that - either the password is something that is similar to his previous passwords and can be figured out with analysis and time, or has he generated a random character password and stored this password somewhere.
I can see guys who steal tens of millions being able to hide some of it, especially if they worked alone -or at least limited their partners- and have a limited digital trail.
SBF stole billions; enough money to make it worth going through every minute of the last decade of his life with a fine-toothed comb, he worked with a ton of other people who have knowledge on his methods (and are young enough to desperately want to avoid spending decades in prison themselves- so they will testify), and he was basically plugged into one device or another at all times.

This is a good point... The fact that he has billions probably makes it worth it to put a bunch of federal agents to work and crack his case. However, I still think he probably managed to sock away a few millions of dollars (a small drop in the ocean compared to his fortune) in offshore accounts/crypto wallets (Russia/China?) that may not be worth pursuing.
Kahzootoh t1_j00lqnc wrote
If SBF takes some form of plea deal (which he almost certainly will- Madoff did, and Madoff was smarter than this guy by an order of magnitude), it's basically guaranteed that a condition of his deal will be to disclose where all the money went- he won't be allowed to retain any of it.
That makes tracking down the little amounts worthwhile, because it only takes a tiny amount of money to render his plea deal null if it can be shown that he has broken the terms of the agreement.

I figure if I were as wealthy and connected as Epstein, with a black book like that I should be able to smuggle in some drugs to put me in a coma that is so convincing I appear to be dead, and then the prison will call an ambulance, when the "ambulance" comes my employees will come inside the prison, put my on a stretcher and carry me out and no one will stop them. I'll have them shut off the cameras first, and have the guards take a nap just to be sure no one sees me taking the drugs and falling into a coma.
Once I'm out, all I really have to do is bribe a coroner I guess
Then I guess eventually I might get some facial reconstruction surgery but it's not really a pressing matter, because I'm "dead."

Crypto isn't investing, it's gambling. How much money can you extract through producing trust and hype before pulling out and moving on to the next project (grift). Crypto is designed to allow for circumvention of all the existing rules of finance. Everyone involved knows this. His friends are gone, the moneys gone, poof.

It’s “investing” in currency. Though, there isn’t any inherent value-generating process behind what you’re investing in, which is why it’s hard to call it investing.
sleazy24 t1_j00avw3 wrote
Dude tell me why any of this is necessary? We have currencies. Why would anyone need a different currency for every step of a financial transaction?? So that grimy vampires can suck out value every step of the way. Gas fees, conversion issues, using tons of electricity, all for NOTHING. I've yet to see anything of value actually come from any of these coins. Because people think the coin itself is going to make something cool, I guess? I was a part of what I thought to be the coolest project I could find, Arpeggi Studio. On Chain Digital Audio Workstation, mintable original music. And my experience with those vampires killed every hope I had for crypto. As soon as I showed even a small amount of skill, they jumped on me to make money for THEM. Do work for THEM. Because every crypto bro is either a talentless dweeb or a stoner loser. That's why they dive into all of the 'tech' which is absurdly convoluted by design so that only the people in the know can properly navigate the system.
twohundred37 t1_j00dyfu wrote
It’s necessary because it’s closer to actually becoming a stable way to trade value than the current fiat system, in that it is non-inflationary (how you can’t hear those alarm bells of inflation ringing is beyond me), sometimes deflationary, and decentralized, meaning the tool (the currency) works so efficiently that it needs no central bank or federal reserve.
The project you found sounds really fucking cool when reading the words you wrote about it, but I could see how there would be a confusion between what service you were getting in exchange for what value you were generating or providing. Also, I can see it getting really greedy from non artists preying on artists. That tends to happen no matter what currency you exchange. Lol.

>meaning the tool (the currency) works so efficiently that it needs no central bank or federal reserve.
It also means there is literally no one who can help you when you are a victim of fraud. The crypto that Sam Bankman-Fried managed is gone. No regulatory agency like FDIC will cover your losses. Crypto transactions are irreversible. Someone takes your cash, you're fucked. And a shitload of people lost all of their holdings in the FTX scandal.
We can see the results of that playing out before our eyes. Crypto is good for gambling(that's all you're doing as you wait for the price to rise or fall), racking up a win by selling when the price is higher than you bought it for, and then pulling out your money into real cash as fast as possible before the value inevitably crashes(and then recovers again at some indeterminate point in the future), if you're lucky enough to time it right. It's not very easy to catch that falling knife.
twohundred37 t1_j00d340 wrote
Sometimes it’s currency, sometimes the way that currency works will pay you for staking your assets and rewarding with fees collected from the network. Kind of like saying it’s hard to call “investing” in a credit card company investing.

Do you not realize this is the exact FOMO gospel crypto bros NEED you to continue to regurgitate? Yeah sure, anyone critical of crypto is either a loser or upset they didn't manage to scam somebody else. I made some money and lost some money just like everybody else, and you know what? I realized at the end of the day it all comes back to USD, you know, the currency people actually respect because there are human beings backing it. Trust. Fuck a trustless system. Why? Because you get this exact scenario over and over and over, with no way to get any of it back... Just trust the code bro, we double checked it!! Meanwhile the people with access to the funds screw everybody over because EVERYONE IN CRYPTO IS IN IT FOR THEMSELVES. Rinse, repeat. WAGMI my ass BRO.

This is money you’re talking about. There are people who will take advantage of you whether it’s the current system, or in the waves of a disruption in that system. Anywhere, any time, in any way.
Crypto actually solves that problem eventually, but centralized exchanges have propped crypto up like a crutch to adoption pains.
Jpegs? You really want to start that conversation? Haha. You need to zoom out, friend. These are technologies. Tools people will use to interact, keep records, make agreements, transact, etc.
A problem with “actual human beings backing it (with) trust” occurs when 30% of the currency is printed within a year. It gets pretty difficult to divide trust, if you will. You’re angry about people setting up scams in uncertain times, be angry at crypto if you want I guess. I spent way too much time on this conversation I think

It's not a waste of time to have these discussions. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I see some sort of value in blockchain but what we're currently doing with it is STUPID. We can't allow ourselves to sink into the metaverse, we need to build shit in our communities, in 3 dimensions. It pains me to see so many intelligent, talented people move to LA to sell virtual property and shit omfg... We all know the 'crypto utopia' people envision leads directly into the cyberpunk dystopia we all (should) fear. See: the #1 nft CryptoPunks... I know there's more to blockchain than the metaverse shit but we already have systems of recording transactions, interacting, making agreements. Not everything needs to be on the blockchain. I'd argue almost nothing does besides some complicated supply chain stuff maybe. But even then it's all about the Benjamins.
Dude why do you think centralized exchanges take off like they do? Because who wants to bother to protect their own funds?? I trust the US banks because theyre human beings with feelings who will hopefully not fuck me over. I cant say the same about any of the crypto exchanges ruled by cold permanent code by dudes on private islands

Man, after all of that we sort of agree. Haha. What we’re currently doing with it is dumb. But the technology (hell yeah there’s value in the blockchain! :)) underneath the mess and failings of human nature is, to me, cryptocurrency. It’s an innovation, and if the current global economic problems continue on their current trajectory, it may be a revolution. I know that sounds kind of cheesy, but to me, why not throw 5% of my paycheck at it? It’s cool to watch the space grow. capitalist markets weed out the scammers pretty quickly, and if they don’t, the government intervenes.
It is good to learn where the oppositions come from. You’re right. This is why I’m on Reddit, these discussions. I appreciate your contributions to this one!

I’d consider making that an automatic felony. The entire point of the Congress is to act as a legislator with authority.

Pleading the 5th should be a felony? That’s def not how it works in America
Soundwave10000 t1_j02se20 wrote
No, he should go to congress and plead the 5th there at each question. If you get a court summons and don’t go you can get charged with contempt.

Just have the Senate call him on discord.
Strange-Effort1305 t1_j02rcby wrote
Well yeah what lawyer would let their client, who is under indictment, publicly testify under oath about the facts alleged in the indictment. This is probably the first smart thing this guy has done in years.

Not smart. He can avoid self incrimination by pleading the 5th, but you gotta show up. This refusal will guarantee a contempt of congress charge on top of whatever else happens.

They wanted to hear his spiel so bad, they should have scheduled it sometime when he wasn’t busy being extradited and arraigned, and what have you.

Weird that he got “arrested” right before he was supposed to testify. It’s almost like he wasn’t reliable like jack and Zuckerborg

Imagine if he didn’t send that Tweet, tagging Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, about coming to testify with him. Pretty much led to his downfall.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why would he testify in front of Congress in the first place? Would that have led to filing charges against him if he wasn't already arrested?

It's cute that you're being contrarian, but the Trump cult that tried to take over the government doesn't need a devil's advocate.

Don't bother, he's been around a year and has like five comments, totaling negative 19 points. This is a real nobody, who apparently gets on for the occasional troll thrill.

Not to mention that we have people all over the place, including sr government officials, refusing to appear in front of congress when subpoenaed, and they face literally 0 consequences. Sets a great example/precedent.
