FTX’s general counsel Ryne Miller didn’t know why the money was moving…

And FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried claimed to not know the fund were moving at all…

Why This Might Be An Inside Job

Could this be the getaway plane?

Time will tell.

As it turns out, both of Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents are law professors. Knowing good lawyers may come in handy for him.

In any case, this seems like terrible news for the whole crypto complex. In my previous post (“Fading The Post-CPI Rally“), I mentioned buying puts on the bitcoin miner Riot Blockchain, Inc. (RIOT). I wouldn’t want to be long any name associated with crypto on Monday.
