Once again, I must reinforce this. Scams like FTX are built around a personality. SBF is the face. Trying to spread the blame through implication is not only incorrect based on existing reporting, it also is enabling the worst people on the web. Chronotope/1591427706138271744

I can't believe I have to keep saying this but: People's sex lives or fandoms don't turn them into scammers. It's their ability to go around getting the trust of many people, turning that into money, and then abusing that trust. Stop being shitty.

Don't be gross, an ignorant asshole, or let yourself be manipulated by a bunch of assholes desperate to pretend there was some secret cabal and the problems of FTX weren't intrinsically the problems of crypt*currency technology and culture.

PS: when I say they're trying to imply some gross cabal, that wording is not accidental. Flip over some rocks and you can already spot the antisemitism coming out.
