Wow it's incredible how deeply embedded in everything these criminals are. This is some Epstein level cover being run by the media basically 24x7. Really makes you wonder about those "fact checkers" we were supposed to "trust" 2 years ago...huh...

Everyone in crypto endlessly criticized governments (inevitable collapse of fiat, dumb regulators), traditional finance (slow greedy), the media (don't get it). Now, as FTX unravels people say the media was complicit. Politicians were bought off. It's more proof the establishment was corrupt! All roads seem to lead to this dark world view.

  The only way a representative democracy can work, and moreover a justice system, is the assumption that the people in charge have extraordinary moral and ethical character. Since time imemmorial this hasn't been true. It's worse now than it's ever been. You can't even vote the corruption out at this point. So, we will never have that mythical democracy nor justice system. They feed on each other. The corrupt crypto people corrupt the establishment, which looks the other way, and the feedback loop continues. One does not negate the other and especially in the case of finance it's entirely possible to have exactly 0 good guys. The media has no interest in the telling the truth. There's no financial incentive. Hence every "fact checker" is a consummate liar, and every "journalist" is just an opinion pundit with (perhaps) a bachelor degree. We are literally living in the Truman Show. All it takes is a little money to change the public's perception of a person.

Also makes one wonder how true Ye was when he pointed out the fact that a certain religious minority is so prominent in media and finance. If this crime was commited by somebody of other religious affilication would the response have been any different from the pathetic gaslighting happening now? Really makes you wonder..
