- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> same way that "FTX is a ponzi scheme" was a conspiracy theory until a few days ago FTX’s failings weren’t widely acknowledged. But critics weren’t dismissed as unbelievable, even absent strong evidence. Most of us just don’t give a shit. Beyond Robinhood ramblings, there isn’t even circumstantial evidence of DTCC being corrupted in favour of Citadel, a claim which requires having the latter overpower every global bank plus every competing fund complex, from BlackRock to Bridgewater.
