New York Times reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin interviewed former FTX CEO SBF at the NYT’s annual DealBook summit on November 30th. This was SBF’s first public interview since his company imploded.
SBF claimed, “I didn’t ever try to commit fraud on anyone, I was shocked by what happened this month.” He added that he didn’t “knowingly co-mingle funds” between Alameda and FTX.
The former CEO and founder of disgraced crypto exchange FTX, SBF, said, “I’ve had a bad month,” on stage.
Crypto Twitter reacted aggressively to SBF’s comments on the FTX debacle, accusing him of downplaying his responsibilities and role in the saga.
#SBF Se presupune că unul dintre cei mai străluciți oameni din lume.
Apărarea lui?

I didn’t think this SBF situation could possibly look worse, but this interview is proving me wrong… #FTX #SBF #NewYorkTimes #Interviu

All I can see in this SBF NYT interview is how stunningly delusional he is. About everything.
This is also why you need a lawyer, and you listen to them!
Everyone wishes they could just say “sorry, I was young & dumb, hehe”. But that’s not how it works.

Controversă
Even before the interview, Bankman- Fried’s invitation to speak at the conference stirred criticism.
SBF ar trebui să stea într-o închisoare chiar acum, dar în schimb oferă un interviu la summitul New York Times Dealbook.
WTF se întâmplă?https://t.co/i3pQOVZy3b

Crypto Twitter didn’t go easy on him after Andrew Ross Sorkin, who is an award-winning journalist, CNBC anchor, and author of “Too Big to Fail”, interviewed him.
Sorkin questioned Bankman-Fried about whether his attorneys thought speaking at the conference was a sensible move. “No,” Bankman-Fried said. “They are very much not,” adding that he felt compelled to comment.
Ross Sorkin: „Ce îți spun avocații tăi acum? Sugerează ei că este o idee bună pentru tine să vorbești?”
SBF: „Nu. Ei nu sunt foarte mult.” pic.twitter.com/cl5KDTVRpf

As the Wednesday interview began, with Bankman-Fried and Sorkin chatting via video connection to a live and virtual audience of thousands, the reactions began to pour in on Twitter.
Crypto Twitter didn’t like what SBF had said.
One user used SBF’s presence as a hook to criticise the whole conference, implying it was full of undesirable figures like Jeffrey Epstein, Osama Bin Laden, and Voldemort.
Heck of a line-up!
Congrats on this nytimes @dealbook, seriously. pic.twitter.com/3wkz1UOWQ4

Others didn’t restrain themselves from speaking their minds on the Bird app.
Am urmărit acel SBF @andrewrsorkin interviu și trebuie să spun că încă nu-mi vine să cred la ceea ce tocmai am asistat. De fapt, sunt fără cuvinte la nivelul câmpului de distorsiune a realității în joc aici. De asemenea... publicul aplauda la final? WTF!

That was a very informative interview with @SBF_FTX: we finally know where all those billions in client funds that were collateralized with worthless FTT tokens and then “repurposed” elsewhere went.
Oh wait

SBF is apparently the most liked criminal ever.
Ce gluma.
Drives me crazy seeing his little smirk during his interviews.
Guy should be in prison. Ruined a lot of people’s lives, willingly and without remorse.

FTX a explodat acum două săptămâni.
SBF ia cina de Ziua Recunostintei intr-un penthouse cu familia sa.
NYT îl va intervieva săptămâna viitoare.
Amazon plănuiește deja o mini-serie în opt părți despre asta, cu doi regizori Marvel.
… „lumea clovnilor” nici măcar nu începe să o descrie.

Este tăcut și tensionat în cameră, dar SBF în mod clar nu poate percepe asta prin link-ul Zoom, așa că el doar vorbește cu @andrewrsorkin ca și cum ar fi orice alt apel Zoom

The SBF interview was so whacky
It just feels like lie after lie after lie
