He was arrested the day he was scheduled to testify to the House. I wouldn't hold my breath on seeing justice until he's actually in jail.

Those two events have nothing in common.

People keep saying “look, he was arrested, just as he was about to give testimony to the House!”, and never elaborate on what that means or why it would be suspicious. Please be explicit: what is your theory here? What was he going to say at the House testimony that he hasn’t already said in all his tweets, ill-advised DM’s to Vox journalists, etc?

  I've been pretty clear in my past comments that my theory is that SBF is a cut-out for an agency-led money laundering operation. FTX was mostly wash trades and absolutely did not have 1 million customers. I don't even believe there are any major victims of fraud, nevermind the claimed 1 million people who lost "$8 billion." Of note, the DOJ has asked to seal the records documenting the victims. The entire exchange, from setup to collapse, was engineered as an intelligence gathering and money laundering operation. Next, it will be used as an excuse to pass crypto legislation and clear the way for CDBCs managed by the Fed and its Wall Street banking cartel.

    > FTX was mostly wash trades Mate, I have some bad news for you about literally the entire crypto ecosystem. Also, this does not address my question at all. If your theory is that SBF was going to blow the lid off this whole setup at the House testimony, and so he was arrested before it could take place, that does not explain why he hasn’t simply blabbed on Twitter, or when he was texting Kelsey Piper, or at any of the hundreds of other opportunities to do so.

      Nothing that dramatic. The guy just doesn't know when to shut up, and if someone else is running him then it seems like the safe choice to make sure he can't testify and say something stupid. If my theory is correct (which I admit may be unlikely), then I doubt he'd openly admit to it. But he would feel cocky and untouchable, so sending him to jail in the Bahamas for a few days might be a good wake up call for him.

Why is that suspicious? A more likely explanation is that the authorities had what they needed to take him in, and they wanted first crack at questioning him before he had the chance to stage a dog-and-pony show in front of congress.
