Oh, what a heartwarming tale of morality and virtue we have here. Gather ’round, folks, as we dive into the heartwarming saga of FTX stock exchange and its founder, the beacon of ethical excellence, Sam Bankman-Fried.In the grand city of New York, Caroline Ellison has come to testify about the bankruptcy of FTX. Shocking revelations about Sam Bankman-Fried’s commitment to honesty and integrity have emerged, painting a grim picture of the once illustrious exchange.But perhaps it’s for the best that we put this FTX soap opera behind us. Sam’s likely heading to a luxurious prison, and the crypto world can now embark on its journey to healing, guided by the light of such virtuous leaders.Now, let’s talk about the trial of the century, where Sam Bankman-Fried is defending his unblemished reputation. On the stand is Caroline Ellison, Sam’s ex-girlfriend and the head trader at FTX, or should we say, Alameda Research. She was intimately involved in Sam’s business, making her the perfect witness to shed light on his altruistic endeavors.The defense cunningly accused Caroline of being the mastermind behind all the turmoil at Alameda Research, painting Bankman-Fried as an innocent bystander forced to respond to Caroline’s chaos. Caroline, however, accepted this blame with open arms.Ladies and gentlemen, behold the portrait of a stock exchange that operated with the utmost respect for the law, and a founder who saw himself as a savior of the world. Sam’s personal creed was simple: “Lying and cheating are A-OK as long as it serves a good cause.” Move over, Mother Teresa, Sam’s in town.According to Caroline, she had no clue that she would one day be involved in cooking the books and misappropriating customer deposits when she started at Alameda. But she adapted to her surroundings, showcasing her finely honed ethics as an MIT graduate.Their ethical escapades knew no bounds. From using Thai prostitutes’ documents to free funds stuck on Chinese exchanges, to offering bribes when all else failed, FTX and Alameda Research displayed perseverance and creativity.But the misappropriation of customer funds is perhaps the most touching part of this saga. Caroline openly admitted that FTX used customers’ deposits to pay off loans, leaving her in constant fear of a bank run.Out of the $12 billion in customer deposits, only $4 billion remained. The rest went to Alameda Research or was generously loaned to Sam, who used it to acquire real estate in the Bahamas and invest in other noble causes.And let’s not forget Sam’s hidden agendas. He wanted to “encourage” regulators to take stricter action against Binance to increase FTX’s market share. Discussions with U.S. regulators promised just that, but it was all a pipe dream.Sam also dreamt of buying SNAP, Snapchat’s parent company, and collecting money from Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Clearly, a man with his priorities straight.In essence, Caroline and Sam had a grand old time. She had to lie, embezzle, and live in constant fear of financial collapse. But all in the name of Sam’s noble goals, right?Caroline found solace when FTX finally crumbled in 2022. It was a week of unspeakable horrors, but also a colossal relief. Finally, the era of deceit was over. Or was it?Now, it’s up to the court to decide if this is just another layer of deception or if Caroline is truly the victim of Sam’s noble ambition. After all, what’s a little market manipulation among friends, right?
