Ask HN: Sources of news that aren't misrepresenting the SBF/FTX scandal?

• abudabi123 4y ago
  Maybe you can find someone to follow on Twitter with an interest in the court filings about SBF/FTX and can connect the raw dots on the Bloomberg-or-like terminal service.

    This is proving that NYT and most MSM aren't trustworthy, and hence my question. If you still trust the NYT for other kinds of news, then it means you have Gell-Mann amnesia. https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnesia/ https://www.epsilontheory.com/gell-mann-amnesia/

  Matt Levine at Bloomberg has mostly avoided the coverup, although he's still mining the situation for comedy. The truth is mostly coming out on Twitter, YouTube, and the occasional Substack.

  This is a start because they read court filings. https://wallstreetonparade.com/2022/11/u-s-justice-department-steps-into-the-ftx-bankruptcy-case-in-delaware https://wallstreetonparade.com/2022/11/u-s-justice-departmen... Everyone can get a PACER logon and use the free tier to read the court filings for themselves. https://pacer.uscourts.gov https://pacer.uscourts.gov

  Google FTX and you will see plenty of negative press That litmus test shows your claim that mainstream media is only writing puff pieces is just wrong.

ProPublica received money from SBF as grant. SBF invested in Semafor. then you got NYT event with SBF as speaker https://twitter.com/TrungTPhan/status/1595587141694021633?s=20&t=kas38SbQ6ome6s1bwewDQQ https://twitter.com/TrungTPhan/status/1595587141694021633?s=... the picture is meme but its real. SBF is a featured speaker before the FTX collapsed. then you got Ben Smith from Semafor going back and forward with Elon about who got money from SBF. https://twitter.com/semaforben/status/1595521488332931072?s=20&t=kas38SbQ6ome6s1bwewDQQ https://twitter.com/semaforben/status/1595521488332931072?s=... you also got this article from Forbes about SBF using none profit to hide behind. https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnhyatt/2022/11/14/sam-bankman-fried-promised-millions-to-nonprofits-research-groups-thats-not-going-too-well-now/?sh=2e0586885ee8 https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnhyatt/2022/11/14/sam-bankma... the rabbit hole is just too deep for me. i just check Twitter blue checkers for FTX. a lot of them break the news first. my conclusion is SBF put up a good front as a do gooder. i feel bad for some real do gooders who received money from SBF. for example, "Nathan Young, a researcher who was given $182,000 in June to create “a website for collaboratively creating public forecasting questions for a range of prediction aggregators and markets,” said on Twitter he feels guilty about receiving money from FTX. “Likely the fraud was already happening when the money was donated. That weighs on me,” Young wrote." here is his tweet: https://twitter.com/NathanpmYoung/status/1590914873520967680?s=20&t=t29WOfbzH-wJW1CaUHidqA https://twitter.com/NathanpmYoung/status/1590914873520967680...

  https://unchainedpodcast.com https://unchainedpodcast.com Some rare journalism here actually. Chopping block panel is also fun, albeit opinionated. But they're informed and definitely not siding with SBF here.

  AutismCapital on Twitter seems pretty good on this, I'm not sure if you would consider them "news" for your purposes

  I like zero hedge. They have financial bearish orientation https://www.zerohedge.com/ https://www.zerohedge.com/ I will warn you that it does have some nonsense articles, so you have to think critically. They have many writers and some are just bad while there are some good writings once in awhile.
