SBF: "I seriously fucked up." Also SBF: "Why won't the bankruptcy team listen to me and take my advice?"

  The "f*cked up" quote comes straight from the document, though. I was about to comment on how delusional SBF must be to be this deep in trouble and not snap out back out to reality, leaving aside that "edgy teenager" or whatever mien he's been exhibiting. Is he actually aware of his situation? Perhaps the move to Fox Hill will help him come to terms with what he's done.

      not OP, but some auto complete systems (esp smartphone STT) insert these and you may not catch it before pressing submit

  The testimony literally begins: > I would like to start by formally stating, under oath: > I fucked up. The second quote is a pretty apt summary of what feels like roughly half the document (I didn't specifically count pages)--there's a lot of criticism of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy team, especially that he felt they were ignoring the offers he had received to keep FTX alive. Indeed, to the extent that it's a misrepresentation of the testimony, it's because it doesn't refer to another key focus of the testimony "it was actually CZ's fault!"

  Dear HN: I am aware that "I fucked up" is a direct quote. The latter statement is not. Don't feign quotes from people if what you're dealing in is not actually a quote. This isn't hard. And nothing changes the part where the parent comment is a low-effort, Twitter-tier, bandwagon shitpost crafted for lols. It doesn't belong here.

    Maybe you should just recognize it's not your place to police how others express their sentiments?

      You're unable to recognize, apparently, the perverse irony in saying this even while you're saying it. (And you're wrong; it is everyone's responsibility to make sure that the level of discourse on HN meets an acceptable standard. Making up snarky quotes in contravention to requests not to do that—with or without a reminder about doing so—does not satisfy that standard.) * * * * * > make sure you're following HN's guidelines while posting. There has been a drop in comment quality lately. Not cool. > Here's the short version. Good: thoughtful, curious conversation. Bad: snark, fulmination, and flamewar. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34010908 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34010908>

Just my guess, I think his mind has some deep delusions because of drugs he is using and maybe more.
