New York Times reporteris Andrew Rossas Sorkinas interviewed former FTX Generalinis direktorius SBF at the NYT’s annual DealBook summit on November 30th. This was SBF’s first public interview since his company imploded.
SBF claimed, “I didn’t ever try to commit fraud on anyone, I was shocked by what happened this month.” He added that he didn’t “knowingly co-mingle funds” between Alameda and FTX.
The former CEO and founder of disgraced crypto exchange FTX, SBF, said, “I’ve had a bad month,” on stage.
Crypto Twitter reacted aggressively to SBF’s comments on the FTX debacle, accusing him of downplaying his responsibilities and role in the saga.
#SBF Tariamai vienas šviesiausių žmonių pasaulyje.
Jo gynyba?

I didn’t think this SBF situation could possibly look worse, but this interview is proving me wrong… #FTX #SBF #NewYorkTimes #Interviu

All I can see in this SBF NYT interview is how stunningly delusional he is. About everything.
This is also why you need a lawyer, and you listen to them!
Everyone wishes they could just say “sorry, I was young & dumb, hehe”. But that’s not how it works.

Ginčai
Even before the interview, Bankman- Fried’s invitation to speak at the conference stirred criticism.
SBF šiuo metu turėtų sėdėti kalėjime, bet vietoj to jis duoda interviu „New York Times Dealbook“ viršūnių susitikime.
WTF vyksta?https://t.co/i3pQOVZy3b

Crypto Twitter didn’t go easy on him after Andrew Ross Sorkin, who is an award-winning journalist, CNBC anchor, and author of “Too Big to Fail”, interviewed him.
Sorkin questioned Bankman-Fried about whether his attorneys thought speaking at the conference was a sensible move. “No,” Bankman-Fried said. “They are very much not,” adding that he felt compelled to comment.
Rossas Sorkinas: „Ką šiuo metu jums sako jūsų advokatai? Ar jie mano, kad tai gera mintis jums kalbėti?
SBF: „Ne. Jie labai ne." pic.twitter.com/cl5KDTVRpf

As the Wednesday interview began, with Bankman-Fried and Sorkin chatting via video connection to a live and virtual audience of thousands, the reactions began to pour in on Twitter.
Crypto Twitter didn’t like what SBF had said.
One user used SBF’s presence as a hook to criticise the whole conference, implying it was full of undesirable figures like Jeffrey Epstein, Osama Bin Laden, and Voldemort.
Heck of a line-up!
Congrats on this nytimes @dealbook, seriously. pic.twitter.com/3wkz1UOWQ4

Others didn’t restrain themselves from speaking their minds on the Bird app.
I watched that SBF @andrewrsorkin interview, and I have to say that I still can’t believe what I just witnessed. I’m actually speechless at the level of reality distortion field at play here. Also… audience applauding at the end? WTF!

That was a very informative interview with @SBF_FTX: we finally know where all those billions in client funds that were collateralized with worthless FTT tokens and then “repurposed” elsewhere went.
Oh wait

SBF is apparently the most liked criminal ever.
Koks pokštas.
Drives me crazy seeing his little smirk during his interviews.
Guy should be in prison. Ruined a lot of people’s lives, willingly and without remorse.

FTX exploded two weeks ago.
SBF is having Thanksgiving dinner in a penthouse with his family.
The NYT will interview him next week.
Amazon is already planning an eight-part mini series about it with two Marvel directors.
… “clown world” doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Kambaryje tylu ir įtempta, bet SBF aiškiai to negali suvokti per mastelio keitimo nuorodą, todėl jis tiesiog kalbasi su @andrewrsorkin kaip ir bet kuris kitas Zoom skambutis

The SBF interview was so whacky
It just feels like lie after lie after lie
