If your friend at MS is in wealth management he maybe indirectly involved in Crypto and probably doesn’t even know it. As he maybe doing something called Securities Based Lending. This is using stocks as collateral for lines of credit where clients can draw money from. It is big business as money can’t be made thru margin because of dismal interest rates. Clients can borrow money from their stocks and use that to go into crypto.I have a friend who works at Morgan Stanley and he told me he had steered his clients away from FTX and compared them to Theranos, nothing but a massive Ponzi type scheme. It's amazing that shit like this continues to happen. FTX even had Tom Brady and Steph Curry as pitchmen. Curry's commercials were memorable as he appeared as a Mime.

Agree with him there. The technology is very promising but crypto is meh.He told me he likes the blockchain technology that makes crypto possible but doesn't believe in the crypto.
LOL. SBF is considered a WHITE KNIGHT of Crypto.
LOLOLOLOL…. a white knight. Now where have we heard that before?!?!?!
Crypto Captain Save A Ho.
He was shilling FTX for some time, I wouldn't be surprised if he got paid to do soKevin O’Leary EXPOSED During FTX Scandal
Nov 14th 2022
The story of Sam Bankman Fried & FTX is far from over and it has become wilder and wilder the more I dig. But I find it fascinating that top investors like Kevin O’Leary were caught off guard by this fraud ‘SBF’. He might even be smart but he knows very little when it comes to crypto in comparison to the other geniuses in the space like Ethereum creator, Vitalik Buterin.
lolApparently SBF gave an interview via Twitter to a Vox Reporter. He says SBF is working late into the night in the Bahamas, trying to raise funds to get Alameda up and running again:

From what he told me it was basically a Ponzi scheme. It should be noted that SBF did manage to snooker some major venture capitalists who should know better. In that regard he has a lot in common with Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. If you guys have not seen "Dropout" on Hulu, I recommend. It explains in detail how Holmes pulled off a very similar scam. Her scam involved faking the technology on blood drop tests, and how she pulled it off is an interesting watch. It is a dramatization, but mostly historically accurate. Amanda Seyfried (who is incredible as Holmes) was awarded an Emmy for her performance in Dropout, which I would say was a career defining performance. Brilliant. What's most impressive about her performance is how she seems absolutely convinced that her own lies are true.
Holmes is one twisted manipulative narcissistic psychopath. Knowing that what is coming for her, she goes ahead and gets pregnant with two kids using them as human shields to gain some sort of sympathy.
Elizabeth Holmes was just sentenced to 11 years in federal prison! This is outstanding news. White collar fraudsters and scammers should take note. The US government is no longer fucking around with this kind of stuff.
If you have not watched the Hulu series "Dropout" starring Amanda Seyfried as Holmes, I highly recommend it. Seyfried delivers a mesmerizing performance which won her an Emmy Award. Watching Seyfried as Holmes, and I am sure her portrayal had many kernels of truth, you are blown away by how completely she believes her own lies. The core lie in the whole story is the complete unworkability of the technology she is using to produce accurate blood tests. However, she believes in the workability of the technology with every fiber of her being. This is despite repeatedly being told by tech people outside her company, and her own engineers, about the various problems with it. Her solution is to just keep working harder while staging assorted frauds in the process, like passing off the testing machines as Theranos' own.Holmes is one twisted manipulative narcissistic psychopath. Knowing that what is coming for her, she goes ahead and gets pregnant with two kids using them as human shields to gain some sort of sympathy.
Those crazy eyes. Beware of those who just stares at you and do not blink at all.
