That is part of it. The Sequoia piece[0] describes what kicked off Alameda Research: after a tumultuous hard fork, there used to be a discrepancy between the price of Bitcoin in JPY at a Japanese exchange, and that in a US exchange. So he opened a Japanese account, bought a bitcoin in the US for a low price, and sold it in Japan for a high price.
To be clear, it is described by SBF. I haven’t verified historical prices to confirm it. The journalist that wrote this article probably hasn’t either.
