Zetterlund Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 SBF was the second biggest donor to the Democrats, apparently using stolen user funds. I trust they will be returning this in due course. I also wonder what he did or who he pissed off to make it all collapse on him. It's incredible that the vast sums he was dealing in would go unnoticed by regulators or auditors, so presumably a blind eye was turned as the cash poured in with no questions asked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He claimed he gave an equal amount to the GOP, $40 million, but said he did it quietly as it could damage his image. He certainly pissed off Binance by making out he was pushing for greater regulation of crypto, and they set off the avalanche by dumping all their FTT tokens, but that likely just speeded up the inevitable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Remember those Bored Ape NFTs? Well the guys who produce them had a big concert called ApeFest the other day for their customers (fans? Acolytes?) and used UV C light in the light show. This light is usually used to disinfect surfaces. Sadly ApeFest didn’t take safety precautions and now multiple attendees have been partially blinded. It’s OK though Apes! Most of the sight loss will improve! Nearly everyone is no longer blind! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 My “most of the sight loss caused at our event is not permanent” t-shirt is generating a lot of questions that are answered by the t-shirt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those scammers have lost 39% of their money invested in Bitcoin. They sure were a bit dopey buying the High prices. What they should do is buy the low prices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gone up by a third in the last month on a rumour that the SEC might approve an EFT (exchange traded fund) in the US. If they refuse to, or if Elon tweets something silly, back down it goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but could easily be a 'sell the news' event in the short term. Blackrock have applied for an ETH ETF. Also plenty of people are saying that Gary Gensler can basically veto any of these if he feels like it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current price of BTC is 37300 USD Maybe people with money in traditional banking wouldn't understand that this isn't a fair comparison? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidjeans/2023/11/21/binance-ceo-cz-in-discussions-to-step-down-as-criminal-investigation-ends/ Ouch. Between this and the FTX / Alameda debacle, is it purely a lack of one strong central regulator thats attracting so many thieves, crooks and chancers to crypto? Tbh as shady as London's financial sector is I really wouldnt trust having any assets in one of these exchanges. No FSCS protection etc. and a contant worry of waking up and finding out that the board of directors you've entrusted £££'s with are Lyle Lanley types.
