True - the illustrious NYT did a “hard hitting” expose on him today, yet failed to mention the 10’s of millions of dollars he donated to Ds or the promise of 100’s of millions in 2024.

Someone already compared to John Crozine who did similar things and simply paid a fine.
But watch the videos of these "kids" running these two companies.
Then look at their investors... BlackRock? Really. They did due diligence here?
Personally, since they allowed their name to be used, and had their backing...
I hope someone rules that BlackRock has to make everyone whole!
But alas, it won't happen. The masters never pay for losses, they only keep the gains!

To be fair. My boss doesn't really understand what I do either - I don't completely understand his. But he does his job and I do mine and together things move properly. Loyalty is probably more important than "technical competence".

Quick follow up (he's really losing it, isn't he?):
Elon Musk's Twitter ultimatum: Go hardcore or go home • The Register
I already read that he has told all his staff that they can no longer work from home (at all). Two fisted management at its best, just the perfect way to induce burnout 
[Edit] Oh I see this is in todays' CP's mailing. Well spotted guys.

So they're outsourcing their NFTs? That's embarassing enough, but I'm sure people are onboard after FTX exposed the entire industry

Referring to the reveal that they were insolvent and many other exchanges likely are as well. It may not literally be a ponzi scheme but it's uncomfortably close.
EDIT: And the assumption I'm making is that if interest in crypto wanes due to all the rug-pulls and now FTX going under, minting costs are going to go way up, so interest in NFTs will probably go down too. Not a guaranteed outcome but it's interesting watching companies jump on the train as it looks to be derailing.

Thanks for clarification.
English question: Why "jumping on the train"? If it is derailing, I would have said "jumping off the train"

Because they're getting into a market that seems to be derailing, hence jumping on the derailing train.

ok...I thought it was meant the opposite way.
