> Reports on crypto Twitter are that this is a hack It's really unfortunate to get "hacked" with such bad timing. You steal customer money and file for bankruptcy but now the bad hackers, probably from the Bahamas as well, take whatever is left and cash out. Oh no! /s But it's alright, SBF said he's sorry.

In unrelated news SBF just found he had a bunch of crypto in his personal wallet. Totally not at all the pile of crypto that was last seen in the FTX wallet.

  Yes, 1-2 billion in Sam’s personal wallets: “Reuters is reporting that at least $1 billion in customer funds at the exchange disappeared last weekend, citing two former senior employees briefed on the company's finances.” https://www.reuters.com/markets/currencies/exclusive-least-1-billion-client-funds-missing-failed-crypto-firm-ftx-sources-2022-11-12/ https://www.reuters.com/markets/currencies/exclusive-least-1...

  A minor problem with the blockchain is that the blockchain is actually an authenticated record of all transactions, so it’s pretty hard to hide where the crypto went unless you never actually exchange it or use it to buy something.

    Swap to Monero then slowly trickle swap back to your coin of choice as you need the funds. 'Problem Solved' There is a reason US regulated exchanged with KYC don't deal in XMR.

      Huh? Kraken deals in XMR in the US. You can literally upload a US passport and they will sell/buy you XMR. They've been doing it for years.

SBF takes "full responsibility".

  Don't worry tweet that "he's sorry" and it will be all right.

  i volonteer to take some "responsibility" as well

  Taking full responsibility would be liquidating his assets to make all customers as whole as possible, even if it leaves him destitute. Lack of responsibility/consequences for the capitalist class is the root cause for many of the social problems we have today. It's not OK that we hugely reward taking risks to capital and then largely isolate the "risk"-taker from the consequences of failure when they materialize.

  Perhaps he will take some time to clear his head. Is there a monastery in South America where he can repent? Preferably one with no extradition treaty?
  - jinpa_zangpo 4y ago
    All the countries in South America have extradition treaties with the United States. If he's looking for a monastery, he should head to a Buddhist monastery in Vietnam.

honestly, the vulnerability was probably already there and there was a symbiosis with the person. Rules for rulers, there are various keyholders in your empire. This company wasn't following any best practices, so no reason to think they have crypto security best practices internally. this person absolutely knows that they can kick leadership when they're down and that all blame will go to the leadership it doesn't require being an "apologist" for leadership to see this vulnerability. Council and compliance all resigned, the ceo resigned. Any semblance of checks are gone and any rogue developer can use their keys on anything, rumor now is that an app update went out turning them into malware. its equally as plausible as just a cringeworthy vendetta of spiraling founders, dumber things have happened in crypto. smart things have too, I’m leaving towards a smart thing
