Before anyone gives Bloomberg too much credit, remember that they were told about FTX's insolvency months before the collapse, and elected not to report on it, because it might hurt their ad rev.

I wonder if this isn't in anticipation of that becoming a bigger story after his conviction. They were more concerned with having an invitation to the corrupt party than e posing the truth of it as journalists. That's the difference between media that helps maintain entrenched interests and media that exposes the truth in a way that requires resources.

They were part of the power plant for the Ponzi pump. If I could recognize it, there's no excuse for professionals. They not only didn't inform anyone, they helped hide the ticking time bomb. A lot of these finance media places presented SBF as a wunderkind, parents above reproach, all that kind of thing. Even when he went on podcasts and literally explained his business in the same terms you'd describe a Ponzi scheme, they never even hinted that this might be a scam.

Well down technically. But it starts to sour the moment they build the scenario that FTX was “forced into survival mode” dipping into FTX budget as Alameda was getting pressed - as we know now they decided to use FYX customer funds well earlier (including 10M for his dad let alone all the millions for political donations and personal gains) It also leaves out how he put out directives to build in the back door to drain FTX consumer funds according to Garry Wang (which is now on the record) as well as other people in his inner circle to make use of customers money for his deals, personal investments … and his connections to SEC’s Gary Gensler - but then how you can end the film with his quote “I just wanted to make the world a better place” is just beyond me. There have been suicides over this! And you portray him as if he just stumbled into his own misery. This is one of the largest frauds in financial history and you offer him the soft exit?

Oh yeah. Do you happen to be familiar with the concept of "fraud"? The one where the con artist misleads the public with fake and untrue information, builds a false reputation and persona based on it, and everyone is super impressed? So if you haven't been paying attention, this is a movie about exposing one of the biggest frauds ever, how exactly do you think they should react in a right non-hypocritical way? And whether he made them money or not, it doesn't matter, the fact is that he dragged everyone down. How would you, an unappreciated genius, properly react in such a situation?

Thank you for a great documentary - but please clarify that crypto is NOT something you "invest" in. It generates 0 revenue, it's based solely on the assumption that at a future date you can exchange it for more. It's a store of wealth, a hedge at best. It's a currency. The difference between it and a gov't backed currency? Every person and business paying taxes. Not bashing crypto but please classify the security correctly.
