Worse, I've already started seeing whispers and hints around the internet of this event being evidence of conspiracy of a certain ethnic group that both Bankman-Fried and Gensler are a part of. I don't personally put any credence into this very old and ugly conspiracy, but given the recent surge of attention to it by other unhinged actors, if this kid doesn't get thrown under the bus and burn, the meme is only going to grow much stronger legs to run with. This is a dangerous moment, and the elites need to be aware that people are watching to see what they do when it's one of their favorite sons who crosses the line.

The "meme", as you put it, has been around for centuries. The people who believe it will just blame the Jews for something else. They have never needed evidence before.

  I completely agree. But when there are actual events that look like 'evidence' the meme becomes more easily transmissible, and more difficult to remove from the infected. https://wearehostsformemes.com/ https://wearehostsformemes.com/

Well it's not really a "conspiracy" that Jews are one of if not the richest of the significant religious ideologies in America. Friends/family/mutual aid often goes along religious lines so it wouldn't be surprising to find out some of the investments look like a "jew-fest" as SBF is after all Jewish, and his family probably knows lots of Jewish people who happen to be about the richest families by religion in America on average. If someone is a rich bad person, they are disproportionately likely to be Jewish. If they are a rich good person they are also disproportionately likely to be Jewish.... but some only see the bad. https://assets.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/10/FT_16.09.29_wealthReligiousGroups-3.png https://assets.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2...

  That is what happens when society limits them to money handling for centuries.
