A few days ago we asked how much longer do we have to wait for the "first-day affidavit" in the FTX bankruptcy, traditionally the most detailed and comprehensive summary of how any given company collapsed into Chapter 11 (and in FTX's case, Chapter 7 soon, as this will soon become a full-blown liquidation)... (Snip) ... and this morning we finally got our answer when it hit the docket (22-11068, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware), almost a full week after FTX filed on Nov 11... and boy is it a doozy. Because how else would one describe it when FTX's new CEO and liquidator, John Ray III,

I hope SBF has protection. After ripping off the left fringe, he's going to need it. They will want something valuable from him, something he is trying to keep hidden. Is a car trunk in Sam's future?

Tried to read all of this, but it's too complicated. What I do want to know is, (a) were they actually making any money for investors, i.e., did anyone see tangible returns by investing with them or was it all just on paper and they thought they were making money? and (b) who really financed this scam from the beginning...no way did this doofus get VC money b/c he was smart and charismatic. I've seen him speak and he has ZERO charisma and always looks nervous. Seems like was set up by someone much smarter than him for a specific purpose and then folded when no longer needed.

If SBF was smart, and assuming his passport wasn't immediately revoked, he would have fled the country just before tendering his resignation and has since changed his identity and his face. If found, he won't live long. At best, he will get the Bernie Madoff treatment. Perhaps he should get a hold of Eric Snowden in russkie land for some advice how to survive in a foreign land. Well, House pubbies, here's another juicy investigation that you can sink your teeth into since a good many of your fellow dims participated in FTX - good old insider trading and wire fraud at its bet.

This convoluted story of massive financial crime is, as #3 says, hard to understand. The anfractuous nature of the criminal mind is difficult for honest persons to grasp. YrHmblSrvnt here was, before retirement, a General Securities Registered Representative (Series 7 and 63), and I had a hard time grokking anything but obvious criminal intent from the outset by SBF and related criminals, all of whom should, after conviction, get the same treatment as Bernie Madoff. Put the freak away. Throw away the key. And his little dog, too.

I worked on the Enron bankruptcy for 3 years, so am familiar with the processes FTX is about to go through, including working with the CEO that is doing the FTX bankruptcy. One of the jaw droppers for anyone with AR and AP with FTX will be that they have to pay the AP, but will get nothing for their AR, netouts not being allowed. FTX will collect their AR for 2 years, before addressing claims. FTX was a scam from the start. Prager Metis, the FTX CPA firm that issued their audited financial statements, may not survive. It has been reported that FTX had no internal accounting department. No one has reported who did their monthly accounting.

SBF did start FTX with his own money. He made $ millions by arbitrage trading by purchasing Bitcoins in one country at $10,000 per coin and selling them in another country within a short time at $11,000 per coin. He did the over and over. If memory by serves he was profiting at the rate of $25,000 per day.

I agree with 3, it was 'set up by someone much smarter than him for a specific purpose and then folded when no longer needed.' The specific purpose was the theft of the 2022 midterm elections. Now that that was largely successful, FTX can come crashing down. And Bankroll-Fled becomes a temporary liability. Like Seth Rich was.

To me, this whole 'crypto' operation is pure speculation based on.....nothing... just a pattern of computer dots and dashes. In addition, in this 'organization', I recently saw a photo of SBF (or whatever his initials are) on stage with The HornDog. This is always a good clue to a scam being pulled, as The HornDog is attracted to loose money and loose females. Anyone who 'invested' in this racket got what they deserved. Crooks and Shysters, the Lot of 'em!

When I wrote about the climate “loss and damage pact” yesterday, I noted that Climate Czar John Kerry distanced himself from the term “reparations.” The US and other developed nations have long sought to avoid such provisions that could open them up to legal liability and lawsuits from other countries. And in previous public remarks, US Climate Envoy John Kerry had said loss and damage was not the same thing as climate reparations. “‘Reparations’ is not a word or a term that has been used in this context,” Kerry said on a recent call with reporters earlier this month. He added: “We have always said that it is imperative
Costs of Wind and Solar Energy Are Skyrocketing 10 replies

Advocates of wind and solar energy have argued that the cost of those energy sources would decline over time as they are more widely adopted. That never made any sense, and it has not proved true. In fact, the cost of both wind and solar energy is destined to continue rising sharply as the massive quantities of materials they require become more expensive as a result of increasing demand, driven by ill-advised (the politest adjective I can think of) government mandates and subsidies. In fact, the cost of electricity generated by wind and solar is already skyrocketing. My colleague Isaac Orr reproduced this chart at American Experiment.

Amid bombshell revelations that the FBI embedded numerous informants in two militia groups accused of plotting to overthrow the government on January 6, FBI Director Christopher Wray finally is facing some heat. During a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday, Representative Clay Higgins (R-La.) angrily demanded to know more details about the use of FBI informants related to the Capitol protest. Higgins twice asked Wray whether FBI informants disguised as Trump supporters were planted inside the building even before protesters gained entry.

Back in January of this year, the Canadian province of Quebec announced a plan to impose a tax on the unvaccinated. Officials there claimed that most of the impacts on the healthcare system were being caused by unvaccinated people and that the vaccinated should not be made to shoulder the costs. The following month, after a large outcry from the public, the plan was scrapped. But the government never gave up on the idea entirely. Some are still suggesting that the plan could be retooled and brought up for consideration again. In case that idea moves forward in a substantial way, we should take a look

Especially since it is beginning to dawn on Democrats than almost any other Republican with active respiration will beat Biden like a bongo drum.

But it’s not just Schiff’s chairmanship headed out the door with the incoming Republican majority; it’s his seat on the committee altogether. On Sunday, GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy made clear a trio of liberal lawmakers were on the chopping block for their assignments after the chamber took the unprecedented step of dictating minority committee appointments under Democrat rule. Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene was kicked off of her committees just a month after her congressional inauguration.
