Great article. It even goes there and mentions BCCI.
And with this four-letter acronym alone the clandestine literate [1] might be able to draw his/her own conclusions about the how, the why and the kid gloves with which the media handles SBF.
Imagine a three letter state agency looking for ways to secretly pay off shady foreign allies from terrorists to cartels. What kind of infrastructure would you need to do that on a geopolitical scale? Sigh, if there only existed such a technology irony off!
No, that doesn't mean SBF is crypto's James Bond, but it does shed an intriguing light on certain stablecoins as well [2, 3]
