It's not like he hasn't been talking or typing.
His lawyers probably reckoned he was talking way too much, was too much of a liability and dropped him immediately.
The real question is he keeps receiving positive media coverage? They keep trying to frame him as, just a "dumb kid and his friends" that "accidentally misplaced billions" - when in fact, it is pretty obvious he planned most of it, by how his complex corporate structure was and the constant deleting of evidence every step of the way.
Not to mention how he gave himself over a billion of personal loans and spending millions on bribes towards the end for hopes of political protection when he knew he was running out of rope to hide his scam.
- brookst 4y agoNot sure where you’re seeing this coordinated effort to frame him positively. Im sure there are some takes like that, but there is also: https://www.wsj.com/articles/ftx-sam-bankman-fried-sit-in-the-crosshairs-of-u-s-prosecutors-11668398012 https://www.wsj.com/articles/ftx-sam-bankman-fried-sit-in-th... https://www.axios.com/2022/11/16/ftx-sam-bankman-fried-incompetence-legal-strategy https://www.axios.com/2022/11/16/ftx-sam-bankman-fried-incom... I’m seeing plenty of critical coverage. Are you really not seeing that?
- cstejerean 4y agoHeadlines like "Sam Bankman-Fried’s Plans to Save the World Went Down in Flames" paint him in a more positive light than he deserves IMO. There were no plans to save the world.
