This is a very disingenuous way of arguing. If someone isn’t working then it’s obvious that they are smuggling blood diamonds out of Africa. I mean what else could they possible be doing? Please list all the alternative if you disagree.

Yes Layne Norton is completely natural. And his impressive transformation comes from having found an incredible method based on his research and working with several personal trainers. And you can be sure of that because why would he lie?

Just to put this in perspective, FTX was at the crunch time in serious negotiations to get enough liquidity to effectively hide the 8B$ hole they had. The fact that Binance can handle this outflow which is small compared to their total hold

The only way for them not to trigger the FTX crash’s at the point they did, would have been to absorb 8 billion $ worth of missing funds and handing over control of a much larger set of funds to the people responsible for those losses. They
