No and it doesn't matter if you're right if you're also last. Nearly 50,000 Bitcoin were withdrawn from Coinbase daily between Nov. 23 and Nov. 27 — equating to roughly $3 billion. Move your funds off today just to be safe.

You sound like a really nice person but I agree with the sibling commenters and I also wonder if your understanding of Turkey is accurate and balanced. https://www.academia.edu/49496498/Turkish_Women_in_the_Profe...

If you choose to use Linux as your daily driver instead of MacOS, why? Just curious.

Because the article we are commenting on seems to be the Bahamas gov taking credit for the minting. “477M” is more than the 300m moved so must involve the mint as well. But it makes little sense why they would mint.

Look up life expectancy in prison. It’s not much worse than living in Chicago.

Maybe SBF & co minted more FTT in order to dump to increase fiat liquidity during the withdrawal phase, and then right after had to hand everything over to the Bahamas. This isn’t the timeline popularly floated, tho

It matters a lot. Bahamas seizing existing crypto makes sense. Printing more and diluting holders is just bizarre. That would basically be the Bahamas doing a rugpull.

No one is mentioning that the new FTX CEO wrote in a recent Chapter 11 filing that the hack we're discussing here was actually 2 events: the movement of ~$300 in crypto AND the dilutive printing of ~$300 in FTT. Can somebody please exp

> Irving Picard recovered $9.3B from Madoff and paid only $5.4B to depositors. Is this accurate? That's absolutely insane. _That_ sounds like fraud/theft.

The new CEO of FTX states that FTX had no accounting department. lol. > “The Debtors do not have an accounting department,” Ray wrote, stating he expected it would be “some time” before reliable financial statements could be prepared.

The silver lining is that, presumably, if you deposited $100 of crypto into SALT in order to borrow $90, and then invested that $90 in other goods/services/crypto, you probably have the $90 worth of crypto? I mean, hopefully you d

Correct. It's a way to either spend your gains or move them into a different crypto/asset while deferring what would otherwise be a taxable event.

It actually makes sense if they were “dropshipping” lol, which an exchange might do to increase liquidity. In other words, when you deposited to their exchange they actually held your money and executed your trades at FTX for certain pairs.

That’s simply not true. 10 years of FAANG salaries and a modest lifestyle means you basically have F U money (If your boss is ever a dick you can tell him to F U).

by 55555 4y ago
I said salary, not total comp. Employees often don’t consider bonuses as “true” salary as they aren’t guaranteed, much to the dismay of the employers who pay them with real money. Just my limited experience.

Sometimes yes, but historically in general they haven't extradited their citizens for financial crimes against foreigners. I believe it changed a few years ago, at least on paper?

Be glad your mind doesn't tempt you with this crap. You'll pay for it one way or another, and in the end, money doesn't matter beyond a very low point.

At the very least they would know someone there who is a citizen and could withdraw their funds for them. A loophole was utilized where a Bahamanian FTX user would create an NFT on FTX's NFT marketplace, and the locked user would buy i

They don't have the power to pause non-FTT blockchain systems. What you're suggesting isn't really possible. Someone has to hold the keys -- and I doubt they used sufficient multi-sig -- and anyone who has the keys can always

To correct your comment a bit, fraud occurs much more on centralized human-run exchanges that do NOT handle fiat. Handling fiat => licenses => regulation => harder to do fraud and get away with it.

Conventional management advice -- at least that I've gotten -- is that you cam increase people's salaries, but you can't cut people's salaries. Without a very unique culture, they take it personally and will likely quit.

You're being downvoted because it's too soon to judge so harshly. You may be just as biased in the opposite direction as the fanboys. There's been a lot of dumbness and silliness involved but it's pretty hard to assume t
