Read the Hilarious FTX Bankruptcy Filing

As far as Chapter 11 First Day Pleadings go, the FTX filing is an entertaining read. I know this story isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and I know a lot of retail investors lost a ton of money… but it’s a massive scandal that touches some of the most powerful people on the planet, from Silicon Valley leftists to academia to the Washington, D.C. elite. As you read this document, remember that FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was a D.C. darling. Regulators were poised to give FTX special status, an effective regulatory moat, that would have allowed FTX a virtual monopoly on cryptocurrency markets as a centralized exchange while driving decentralized finance projects offshore. And FTX was a media darling, too. The legacy press praised SBF and wrote puff piece after puff piece. Meanwhile, similar companies that didn’t play the liberal virtue signaling game had the New York Times trying to write hit pieces on them for not hiring enough minorities.

Highlights from the filing: None of FTX’s various companies ever had audits, they never had board meetings, there was no cash management system, no one knows who controlled access to cash, no one knows exactly who worked or still works for FTX, employees got cash disbursements approved via Slack emoji, several Bahama properties were purchased with corp money and there’s no records of the transactions, and root control of crypto funds was passed on unsecure email, which might explain how more than $400 million was hacked right after everything came crash down.

Here’s the filing:

This blog is definitely rather handy since Iโ€™m at the moment creating an internet floral website โ€“ although I am only starting out therefore itโ€™s really fairly small, nothing like this site. Can link to a few of the posts here as they are quite. Thanks much. Zoey Olsen

is it possible to recover lost funds?
As a newbie to cryptocurrency, i lost a lot of money trading on my own. I would like to express my gratitude to Expert Bernie Doran for their exceptional assistance in recovering my funds from a forex broker. Their expertise and professionalism in navigating the complex process were truly commendable. Through their guidance and relentless efforts, I was able to successfully retrieve my funds of $150,000, providing me with much-needed relief. I highly recommend him on Gmail ( Berniedoransignals (@) gmail (.) com)  to anyone facing similar challenges, as their dedication and commitment to helping clients are truly impressive. Thank you, Bernie doran, for your invaluable support in resolving this matter. i also invested $2000 with his guidance and got a good ROI profit of $15,000 using his signals and strategies
