We know that FTX was being run like a small business out of someone’s garage with no real controls/security protocols. We know that up until FTX officially filed for bankruptcy protection that some withdrawals were being approved. At the very end officially they were allowing withdrawals for accounts located in the Bahamas, a popular tax haven for rich people. Given the way the company was run, one could surmise that Sam allowed his “friends” to withdraw their funds. The people SBF aligned himself with are crooked. The way SBF has acted throughout this ordeal has been crooked. I don’t think it’s that far fetched to think those in his tribe got the wink and nudge to get out before the collapse. Speculative sure, but something to consider. This happens on Wall Street all the time where “insiders” get out and leave the peasants holding a worthless bag.
