Go read these wild DMs between Sam Bankman-Fried and a reporter, where the FTX founder reveals what he really thinks about his firm's implosion
- Sam Bankman-Fried, founder and former CEO of cryptocurrency platform FTX, resigned on Friday.
- He is now under investigation from the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Department of Justice.
You really need to read these alleged DMs from Sam Bankman-Fried.
Vox's Kelsey Piper published screenshots from her Tuesday night conversation with Bankman-Fried, and the entire thing is required reading if you've been following the FTX saga and the spectacular fall from grace of its founder and former CEO.
The exchange offers a window into Bankman-Fried's unfiltered views on regulators, his regrets (filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy), past statements he says he made for "PR," and what happened with the collapse of FTX.
It includes eyebrow-raising quotes, like Bankman-Fried saying "fuck regulators," and that "they make everything worse."
FTX, meanwhile, took to Twitter to say that Bankman-Fried doesn't speak for the company anymore since resigning from his role.
