Just so they can make another Hollywood movie....

It's amazing how corruption repeats itself over and over and over again, and people KEEP falling for it...

I guess it explains voting patterns as well...or counting patterns...

I read on Twitter that Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank had a LOT of money invested in FTX. I hope they interview him on CNBC this week to see what he thinks of that now. I admit to thinking he's usually pretty sharp on what he invests.

FTX, nor the cypto's in general didn't pass the Enron smell test to me. i still think that digital money is here to stay, but they need more regulation or big banks/financial institutions' involvement. I know that will kill a lot of the appeal for young gen z investors. When Jamie Dimon of J.P. Morgan gets on board, I'll take another look.

My wife, who is usually not very financially astute, heard about this and and described it as such "took people's real money, gave them candyland money in exchange and then spent all the real money"


Pretty basic scheme. I guess Crypto is easier to understand than we were told.


People investing in Crypto are f*cking morons. And they deserve to lose every dime.

It is real, I've seen the clip played on several big media outlets. CNBC etc.


The more risk you take on the less you need stop losses. Everyone knows this....

He's no prize...but damn...when he was rolling in it, he sure could have done better...

That right there is a 5-alarm warning to run away from his awful decision making skills.
