It’s embarrassing for the U.S. regulatory regime that FTX.us was insolvent as well (you could see this by comparing borrow lending data to their wallets after the implosion, as well as some messages released in the CFTC complaint).
Hopefully the various regulatory bodies can set aside arguing over defi and whether something is a commodity or a security and get some common sense rules in place.

- vgatherps 4y agoWhich is strange since it would have unveiled his insolvency, unless the bill he wanted had loopholes or he figured he could steal more from international to fill the hole?
- biscottigelato 4y agoFrom my understanding SBF was lobbying AGAINST DeFi. And lobbying for as many crypto as possible to be considered commodities instead of securities. He was definitely not lobbying for more oversights in centralized industry players. To be fair, there are already sufficient law and power to use against centralized industry players. It's not going to help when SEC rather go after the Kardashians and then mingle with SBF himself right after. Laws are not the problem. Using existing laws fairly and evenly instead of selectively towards all players. That's the problem.
