BlockFi got a $400m credit line from FTX US and drew down $250m, not in cash but in FTT tokens.BlockFi lent $680m to Alameda, not in FTT tokens but in client deposits.Maybe @BlockFiZac and @SBF_FTX can explain how this isn't outright fraud with US-regulated entities. pic.twitter.com/et2u9TMqHM— Ben Hunt (@EpsilonTheory) December 11, 2022

not sure where the dirty money is coming from in this formulation but it sounds interesting
That’s how the money laundering works. You invent a shitcoin and sell the shitcoins to dirty money “suckers”.SBF was the designated “sucker”. In reality, he got that money to launder it. The extra suckers he reeled in was just gravy. https://t.co/1foI3bShYl— Bitfinex’ed 🔥🐧 Κασσάνδρα 🏺 (@Bitfinexed) December 12, 2022

weird how many criminals there are around crypto
Eva Kaili, the ex-PASOK MEP was one of the most vocal proponents of crypto in EU. She was arrested today on suspicions of corruption, with bags of cash reportedly in her flat. Not very crypto.

SDNY unsealing indictment tomorrow, we'll see if Matt Levine waits for that to come out before he pubs the newsletter
USA Damian Williams: Earlier this evening, Bahamian authorities arrested Samuel Bankman-Fried at the request of the U.S. Government, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY. We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time.— US Attorney SDNY (@SDNYnews) December 12, 2022
