Yeah.

Startlingly good movie.

Pretty good.

Like Scientology joke.

Um, so Gabriel Bankman Freed ran FTX is charitable donations wing, which included a ton of money for what many people have characterized as political bribes.

I'm not saying that he was bribing politicians for FTX.

I'm saying that's what a lot of people have characterized what he was doing as, uh,

Now, that much has been known for a while, but it was not until the current management of what remains of FTX sued Sam.

Because, again, there's new management that's trying to recover as much money as possible, and they're throwing Sam under the bus because why wouldn't they?

And that's how all this stuff got revealed, because they have all of FTX's internal communications.

So they found a bunch of shit, like that Sam was having Gabriel try to buy the island of Nauru.

Now, it is unclear how serious their attempt to buy this island was.

A representative of the island's government has been like, no, no, no.

We were never putting our island for sale.

This was never a thing that was going to happen.

And maybe that is the case.

Maybe they were just being idiots fucking around.

But in a memo between Gabriel and an FTX officer, the discussion was centered around the idea of buying the island, of being in control of it as a sovereign country, not just purchasing land.

Yeah, no.

And I think I don't put it past.
