SBF and FTX: The Complete Breakdown of How $8 Billion in Customer Crypto Vanished
Is ZEC the next LUNA? From June 1–July 27, when the critical bug was disclosed and panic was highest, less than 1M ZEC moved. Since July 28, 3.3M ZEC has moved into Ironwood in just 16 days. That looks less like real users moving coins and more like an exploiter moving funds.

SBF lawyer to Supreme Court: hey, you let this orange dreck scam people using crypto - why not my client?
Cant because CZ bribed him first to keep SBF in prison.
Im not sure SBF has enough money left to bribe the Trumps. CZ paid the consulting fee, had binance related engineers build out USD1 for Trump, and then some sort of UAE deal where they bought $2B of USD1 through binance. Idk what SBF has to offer and that's probably all that matters. Don't fret Ghislaine still has a puppy.
SBF and Alex Mashinsky were the most expensive financial literacy teachers in human history. Nothing beats a hardware wallet and 24 words on steel.
*Don't forget SBF and Celsius too. Nothing teaches a newcomer the importance of cold storage faster than a good old exchange collapse history lesson.*
These arent even tokenized stocks, theyre tokenized ideas of stocks that can be printed and manipulated at will SBF is doing time for this shit, Vlad is next

China banning anything crypto related is comical. SBF getting parole should have no influence on anything in the market.

Next time instead of "SBF" just say FTX ffs, not everyone needs to know all your shitty acronyms
SBF approves this post. You can do what you want OP. Just remember ftx, celsius, voyager, mt.gox, quadriga and many, many mor
Yeah.. CZ pled guilty without a trial. SBF, mashinsky, and most other crypto frauds wasted the courts time when they were clearly guilty.
SBF lied on so many levels. CZ took a charge that realistically happens at all major financial institutions. You can keep trying though
I’m pretty sure SBF was banned forever, no?
trump was the worst thing that happened to crypto, might as well pardon SBF while he's at it.
SBF is in jail for 20 years. Anyway the true reason the bill failed is Financial firms don't want any competition with your banked dollars. They hate stable coins especially.
No other black eyes or fat lips? Crypto has had its whole face kicked in. Only Trump gets blame? Not SBF?
The evidence so far looks like it points to it being an inside job, and thats just the evidence so far. As the months pass more and more evidence will surface confirming it was an inside job. The executive team at coinkite are as vile as SBF.
Funny thing is, that they all went to prison shortly after. SBF, DoKwon and CZ. Only CZ got pardoned for his excellent ties to DJT
Nah, if you look historically, I would almost turn that around. Don’t attribute to incompetence what can be attributed to malice. SBF was malicious, not incompetent. That QuadrigaCX CEO was malicious, not incompetent. I think there has been a lot more malice than incompetence in this space, historically.
SBF or CZ? I can’t remember
SBF stole $9billion He should’ve received multiple life sentences like the Silk Road guy.
Well check SBF he was sentenced to 25 years.. so idk about that...
SBF still wondering how he can buy his way out of jail.
Yeah him, he was a big grifter about FTX time and that chinese girl that lacked relevance apart from reporting on SBF think her grift has changed to AI while she waits for quantum and does not age.
It's ALWAYS democrats committing the fraud, starting with SBF, from top to bottom. Sad that Trump is letting them get away. Makes sense though .... he's a former dim-rat and obvious crook who pardoned career criminal democrat Blowjob-O-Vich.
SBF's dad went to school with Gary Gensler, and his mom was in charge of some COVID grifting nonprofit. Total insiders. FTX never would've gotten off the ground without some serious backroom dealings with the Biden admin.
Exactly. Sam stole his clients money to gamble. That could be with any business, you won't know unless you are able to see the books,etc. SBF and everyone else got off pretty good. I've known people that did a decade for selling weed vs SBF and his staff that stole billions and most of them just got a slap on the wrist. Hell, I'd probably get in more trouble if I stole a few thousand from someone vs most of the ftx stealing billions.
Nothing funny about it. Memecoins have always been the same p&d playbook. Everyone saw that coming a mile away. There was no fraud. Everyone knew it was speculative and value could be lost. SBF legitimately stole funds under false pretense. He "sold" bitcoin that never existed yet took money from his victims. He committed fraud and theft on a massive scale, operated an actual ponzi scheme, and sold fake "paper" bitcoin that were never actually purchased.
I don't know or care why. But SBF deserves the hate. He's a truly despicable person and has no place in polite society.
SBF #2 donor to Biden. Interesting perspective read Michael Lewis ***Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon***
We’re only hearing about this because SBF followed the traditional protocol for a pardon. Did the other pardons actually go through the process of a pardon application? I thought they just donated some money to Trump and he pardoned them.
Getting Senate to agree on something unanimously is a miracle, SBF managed to unite them in pure hatred. Incredible achievement.
Huh? Not even sure what "web 3" is, and sure, if someone gains physical access to your dongle then it is indeed vulnerable, but I'd rather extend my risk in that direction than some exchange staffed by socially failed geeks (thinking SBF here).
The POTUS ran a ponzie scheme with a meme cryptocurrency that provides zero utility for any use case at all, and the rug pulled the retail buyers. He should be in jail with SBF.
FUCK SBF in particular. Lost my job at a totally separate company because of what he did (basically dropped an atom bomb on the industry).
Everybody comparing Saylor to SBF just got reminded of what's different. A trivial matter of $51 billion in real Bitcoin owned. 🤣
> Is he gonna be the next SBF? Wait, what do you think SBF did...?
Where’s the money coming from? Is he gonna be the next SBF?
Hard to believe people who held through FTX collapse and SBF becoming a legendary fraud are remotely worried right now.
“Lie”? I didn’t know you had a specific goal post in mind. It was posted a few days after fraud was revealed, but before FTX went bankrupt and before SBF was charged. Obviously people mostly post about things when something unusual or alarming happens.
He's pretty shit, but he still isn't a SBF level complete waste of life.
You are not taking into account the fact that huge number of people investing in crypto were already scanmed, robbed or other way lost money. Nobody normal really wants to buy more. And the only reason to buy crypto is to sell it later to the next fool with profit. If you know that it will be hard to sell it later, you are not going to but now, are you? Ai took money away, sure, but too many people lost money on crypto robbed by people like SBF and other scammers. Only biggest scammers earn money in crypto these days.
Yep, seeing lots of organized FUD. Nothing stopping the shorts. Bet even SBF is pulling Jane Street tactics in his cell at this very moment.
I swear, he will eventually be thought of in the same way as SBF
SBF was giving interviews when FTX was already just debris.
fair point, SBF too. scammers come in all flavors lol
What's more bizarre is how FTX/SBF knew about Anthropic so early right when it was founded in 2021 and felt confident enough to invest $500 million... This was at a time when nobody outside specialized tech circles was talking about AI yet.
Def not okay insider trade, like all the criminals Trump has pardoned, and those who took money from SBF in Congress. Not saying that there shouldn't have been legal repercussions for SBF, just that there should have been similar repercussions for all other white collar criminals. Instead, it seems like they just targeted SBF to make sure they didn't have to pay back their bribes.
I mean its just wild to call solana a dead chain. You told me to do the math.. how many serious options did you really have back in 2016? And if you chose ether, you are doing 10 times better now than you would be if you held bitcoin. Solana rivals ether in many ways and is only 6 years old, still has plenty room to grow exponentially. You could have had an easier time pulling a 3x with safer stocks than going with bitcoin. Everyone on reddit is a multi millionaire and retired early because of whatever theyre trying to push. I wonder about the motivations of anyone who is so adamantly against altcoins like this. Or adamantly for anything else. You really haven't given a real reason besides you made a ton of money, using altcoins, and SBF is a scumbag, who the network has been running without for... how long?
Pretty sure I recall SBF saying he’d spend up to $1B in political donations to keep Trump from winning the election. No way a pardon will happen!
The last thing I'll say is that its very easy to say fuck everything but bitcoin when you have already made a killing off altcoins, and you don't need anything else any more. They're more risky, we all know this. Sol has moved far out of SBF's shadow since he has been in prison. It may or may not perform but is far from dead. Newer people may be chasing much larger gains than they can get from bitcoin. It probably isn't going more than 4 or 5x from here, best case scenario, next couple of decades. Solana or ether barely have to reach current ATH to make the same move. If they don't go to 0, they'll do it eventually. They have a better chance than any of our other established altcoins.
You know what… don’t play the fucking guessing game… lmao… geez man, no wonder you’re stuck on Solana . Listen bub, I retired at 42 because of crypto. I made more on trading Solana and BNB than your entire net worth. I also learned that Solana was dead as soon as SBF turned out to be a douche. So check your attitude, and maybe loan something by looking into the facts instead of talking stupid shit
If they hadn’t made an example of SBF all losses would have been recouped. But the politicians who took money from him never wanted to return it. Easier to send him to jail.
Is this SBF posting from jail or something? Who tf feels sympathetic for FTX in the big 26?
SBF could've been a billionaire easily and slowly but decided to commit fraud to do it fast and ended up in jail. Talk about greed and God complex.
**Knowing SBF if you’re into finance/crypto is one thing, but that’s still a pretty small bubble compared to ‘most Americans.**
There is no way. SBF has/had been a long time progressive giving money to very left of center causes and candidates. At least Russ Ulrich was a darling in Libertarian circles that may have gained Trump some extra votes when he said he would commute his sentence.
Saylor will be the next SBF
So who is bankrolling this? Is there anyone in SBFs circle who would benefit from funding this? I wouldn't have thought anyone would really want SBF working at their firm enough to buy his pardon. I'm so curious who stands to benefit from this.
SBF will pump Trump shitcoins for a pardon
He needed CZ for his crypto company. He doesn’t need SBF afaik. But who are we kidding as long as he can wet his beak he’ll be on board.
We may get team up with SBF and NGT…
Trump has already pardoned crypto scammers like CZ. A pardon for SBF would just confirm what everyone already knows thatpolitics is the biggest financial crime ring of all
Ironically Drake references SBF on his latest album
If a total asshole like SBF gets out of jail, one really has to hope for karma to hit him with a truck or something. Scum of a human
SBF isn't just a bad apple; he is the inevitable result of centralized, custodial finance. The entire system is built on fractional reserve illusions. This is exactly why the only real exit protocol is aggressive self-custody. If it's not sitting on a physical hardware device that you control, it's just an IOU waiting to be evaporated by the next FTX. I did a deep-dive breakdown on how his architecture of fraud perfectly highlights the need for a decentralized baseline here: https://youtu.be/0zdSHvjHiss?is=OuW9STOzwE0fVlYR
SBF will have his lil fuck goblin pay Trump on the backend/behind closed doors.
SBF and his altruist BS will definitely earn some high praise from Trump.
Yes, but it went to Mitch McConnell and other Republicans that actually used it against Trump. SBF is fucked.
SBF invests 1 billion into world liberty finance, pardon approved. The template was written with Binanace guy.
People did not lose money because of CZ, but they did because of SBF and they also know who he is
"Sir, you're the bigliest genius ever" and a low-7-figure bribe and SBF will be a "helluva guy" who got "treated horribly" by Biden.
Anyone who keeps up with finance or investing knows SBF. So maybe 10% of people, if even. That is still enough people to raise a stink, but it's definitely not "most Americans".
If Ross Ulbricht can get Trump’s pardon why not SBF??
SBF will next join the Fed, no?
I small part of me genuinely wants him to pardon him. It will be such a horrible miscarriage of justice and SBF is actually so hated in the crypto community that it just might wake up some people to the fact that Trump truly isn't for anyone else but Trump.
cZ was an exchange of value, a quid pro quo. What does SBF have left to give?
DJT said he'd consider it, but first SBF had to shave his head.
Trump just pardoned Stephen Buyer, a Republican Congressman who was convicted of insider trading. He also pardoned CZ of Binance. Trump also pardoned Ross Ulbricht, creator of "The Silk Road" back in Jan 2025. The odds seem pretty high that Trump will pardon a few more scumbags, like SBF, before he is finished.
Somewhere in there you need a bunch of public Trump glazing sessions. Thats what SBF did thoroughly from his prison cell.
When has that ever stopped Trump from pardoning a turd bucket. If SBF pays his bribe he’ll get a pardon.
I doubt he will parted him since Trump does who he favors if you look at the history. SBF was a second largest donor to the Democratic Party during the election. He bash Trump constantly on his post with Trump’s ego. There’s no way he will pardon him I bet you.
SBF shouldn't have nearly enough money to get one from trump
hell no - SBF is guilty and shouldn't be pardoned
And Trump will give it to him because I guarantee he’ll get a bribe or extract some other favor from him for it. The funny thing about that is if it’s a favor of some sort that Trump wants I’d be 90% sure it’s something illegal. Then SBF will be in a predicament because doing illegal shit got him thrown in the clink already so if he does it again and then Trump leaves office he will be open to another trial and possible prison sentence. So there will probably be he some behind the scenes negotiation that SBF will provide him expertise if how to cover your tracks with bribes by using crypto. Fucking hilarious that the worst swamp monster ever said he’d drain the swamp and his moron voters just bought it.
Trump will pardon him on his way out as a final fuck you, esp if Dems win. SBF prob has monero squirreled away for just this occasion. Trump will 'make a deal'. Def see it happening
No way SBF doesn't have a few million squirreled away for just this scenario
Will it happen? The answer is simple. If SBF has at least a dollar to his name and gives it to Trump, he will be pardoned.
SBF is mentioned by full name on the #1 album in America right now, i think more people are aware of him than you think.
The two cases are nothing alike. SBF will not be pardoned and saying he will be is just a round about to slander Trump.
> Most Americans know SBF Seriously doubt it. On this sub sure, but the average American skips a lot of news.
