I was wondering why SBF seemingly behaved like an innocent man. Giving interviews, talking to podcasters, remaining at his residence.
Why didn’t he make a run for it?
If he did take all those billions as was claimed, why didn’t he move to a country that doesn’t extradite or just move off the grid for a couple years?
Was he burnt out? complacent? drugs?
Or did he never have that money in the first place?
Everyone had been telling him he was the smartest guy in the room, and he thought he was. Plus BTC and crypto are still kinda in shaky legal status, and he’d made a lot of donations to politicians.
Crypto ain’t cash, they can unravel the block chain and figure out the transactions. He can’t just disappear with a few mil and not be followed.
If he can’t just disappear with a few mil and not be followed, then how smart can he be?
SBF was arrogant as fuck, and a bunch of rich people mistook it as eccentric genius so they started praising him as a genius. He did some very stupid things and he definitely isn’t a genius, but isn’t an idiot either. He’s smart enough to know when he’s got.
So he may have been just narcissistic and deluded himself his shit does’t stink.
That’s not true of all crypto though, he could have disappeared with monero.
That’s some peak crypto shilling “My Crypto is amazing for CRIME!”
How is me pointing out that their statement was incorrect shilling? Is it a crime now to want things to be factually accurate?
It’s true though. Monero is great for buying drugs. There’s also many ways to tumble your crypto.
By US laws, fraud is fraud, it’s just a matter of which agency has jurisdiction over it based on if it’s classified as security or commodity.
