      Sure, I’d rather Sam spent the rest of his life making up to his victims through public service works.

          Were there not a fair pile of ‘mom and pop’ / young idiot ‘investors’ who got on the hype train and put in thousands or tens of thousands?

            That was probably the large majority. Anybody who knew what they were doing didn’t leave their money on FTX.

              the fall of FTX took out large swathes of the remaining crypto economy, especially in Africa. Everyone just used FTX as a shitty bank.

              but then, if they knew what they were doing, they wouldn’t have gone near crypto
