Yes I said that.
Nothing went wrong. It was designed to do exactly what it did. The big problem is that people trusted someone with an old money name like bankman lol. He’s never been able to explain where he got his initial money. Plus all your tax dollars that go to Ukraine have been going to ftx, which is then being donated to organizations and politicians by bankman. This wasn’t his idea and I doubt he’s the top of the food chain. There’s a whole network of people profiting of the scam.

I've never invested in crypto because I've never understood it. Even if this didn't happen, I still wouldn't understand anyway.
You probably do understand it actually which is why you haven't invested in it. But you've been gaslighted by cryptobros. It literally is a decentralised ponzi, whereby those that hold coins propagate the scheme. Either that or they are incredibly stupid and believe that if one person puts $20k in the pot, and the next one puts $40k in, both can walk away with $40k each or more, which of course is impossible. Either way they think they can watch a few yt vids and get rich without working.

Hi
Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of it. Not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now, We really need help to survive in this Economy. The fin-Market;s have underperformed the U.S economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stock;s and bonds. My portfolio of $250k is down to $172k any recommendation;s to scale up my return;s during this crash will be highly appreciated.
@John Kent This recommendation literally came at the right time, I dipped by $11k in stocks last week alone. Its crazy! I just looked up Ketly Browny online and researched her accreditation.

Several of the biggest market experts have been voicing their opinions on exactly how awful they think the next downturn would be, and how far equities may have to go, as recession draws closer and inflation continues well above the Fed's 2% objective.

There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.

Both bullish and bearish markets provide the same high-yield potential; all that matters is how information and strategy are used.

This guy knew what he was doing, he should be held accountable. Investors wants their money back.
How much did you lose?
You clearly don’t know how the world works. Bankman is an old money family name. He’ll get a little slap on the wrist. Maybe pardoned lol. Heck, maybe he’ll buy an 8 million dollar mansion in Israel like Zelensky did for his parents. But he’ll have to take a genetic test to make sure he’s one of them to get his citizenship. It wouldn’t be the first time someone ran there to avoid justice from their scams.
How investors get their money back? Tax money from the government? The money investor parked on FTX platform was gone.
Wasn't it donated to elect politicians?
Held accountable, wouldn't that require regulation?

Lesson Learned: Be weary of a guy who shows up to a sit down in a t-shirt, shorts, and unkept hair. Tony Soprano called it.
1.) The BTC/crypto people want to exist outside the confines of government regulation.
2.) When an FTX happens, the BTC/crypto people want the government to step in and arrest/prosecute the fraudsters.
Note: You cannot have it both ways.

@@TonyRSalazar They aren't even currencies.
Remember the companies who said 'buy gold through us' while you send them money and they 'hold on' to your gold for you? Yeah, me neither.
There are lots of companies like that. I wouldn't want to invest with them, either. The difference is that those companies don't lie about what they are. You can read the prospectus and see that you're not actually buying gold, you're investing in exposure to the gold price. Like if you buy unallocated shares with the Perth mint, no one actually believes they're buying gold....do they? If they do, they should probably read the prospectus.
Good example
Like Fidelity and Vanguard do for stocks and bonds?
If you can't hold the gold in your hands you have nothing.

sbf is sort of a genius. the only reason he isn't one is that he doesn't know how to cover his tracks.
I'm here to learn how to trade and also to invest. After listening to a guy on a live program about the importance of investing and how he made $410k in 4 months from $145k, somehow this video has helped shed light on key points, but I'm still confused as a newbie and I'm open to meaningful ideas.
@Max Job will pay your bills, business will make you rich but investments make and keep you wealthy, the future is inevitable.
Investing in Stocks is the wisest decision, If you've not been involved in any you're missing out.
Nobody becomes a millionaire or billionaire by working for others and depending on them, good investment brings millions of dollars.
As a beginner who doesn't understand how Bitcoin/forex trading works and you really want to make profit from it. I will advise you to first start working with a professional broker.
I've heard of Rheagan Max Deplonty , I've also read reviews on various investment forums. I bet his portfolio must be solid.
Wall Street pitched so-called quality stocks with high profitability and low debt, as a kind of insurance against whatever the economy might throw at you. Quality stocks have underperformed the S&P500 this year, My $400k portfolio is down by approximately 20 %, any recommendations to scale up my ROI before retirement will be highly appreciated.
It’s precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don’t have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.

Alexandra Larkin really did justice in the explanation of the sudden liquidity crunch that led to FTX collapse. Though, it is stale news that Idle money gets killed due to inflation. I'm in a privileged position to be able to save almost 65% of our net household income, as I placed it on safer investments. The key for us was not spending beyond our means. If you invest and have other sources of income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends. Got north of $520K in my portfolio as I bought a lot of dividend stocks before, I'm buying more now, and I will buy more when it drops further.
The biggest issue is that most people are only interested in football, basketball, music, etc. They view taking on credit card debt, which will cost them 20% annually, as usual, but they view investing their money, which may yield a monthly return of 10% or more, as hazardous. Avoiding debt with high interest rates and understanding how to invest your money are two very effective strategies.
The uncertainties accompanying this present market is more reasons I have my daily investment decisions guided by an Investment advisor seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time, both employing profit-oriented strategy and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downtrends, coupled with the exclusive analysis, it's quite impossible not to outperform. Netted over $550k in return on investment, since using a coach for about 2years.

Inflation is far more harmful to individuals than a collapsing stock or property market because it directly affects people's cost of living, which they immediately feel. It is not surprising that the current market sentiment is extremely pessimistic. In today's economy, assistance is critical if we are to survive.

The reason that Sam’s clients (most of whom are super-rich) are not taking any loud action against him in the media is that they are embarrassed in front of the world that they had trusted a kid (literally a child) because of their greed to make money out of thin air and that they have been conned by a kid (literally a kid). This is what greed does to you-you get blind-sighted by a child.
This kid should be in prison for the rest of his life because of destroying the lives of, not the super-rich because they are OK, but the lives of those innocent people who had invested their life savings in Sam Bankman-Fired FTX, period.
What an appropriate last name, Bankman, or should I say BankConman!
The conman was smart enough to put money in the pockets of those who would keep him safe when things go down. Till Trump becomes the President this guy will be safe and sound enjoying the luxuries of life. It beats me how people who think they are smart and shrewd get so conned easily compared to those who know little about making money!
Childhood ends at 13 in most cultures. At 18 years-old you will be charged as an adult for any crime you commit. 30 years-old is not "a kid."
@@apollocobain8363 Some people are stuck in their childhood for life when it comes to human emotions and intellect. SBF is an intelligent man (intelligence is different from intellect) who has conned many people because of his lack of mature emotion and intellect. He should be charged as an adult, of course, because he is a child-adult and a criminal.
The conned are the last to admit it and some would rather die than do so. Doesn't just apply to the rich.
People should stop following the kids. Greta is another kid and darling of the media that people should stop following. Follow an idea for its inherent strength and not because a baby is leading it.

Not when the IOUs replaced with the company’s own coin (which is worthless) there for making FTX and it’s other relevant subsidiaries insolvent ie. bankrupt

Second biggest. Biggest is George Soros the criminal of wallstreet
THIS is the video I've been looking for! I wanted an honest factual break down of YT revenue sources. Other channels have done it, but they click bait you into a video, THEN they vaguely rush to the important part without showing us facts and the math. Andrei and Graham Stephan are the ONLY channel I sub too when it comes to finance. This kind of content (plus the silly magics lol) is why I will stay as a subscriber. Greetings from California. :) ##LIBERTONCORP
To summarize - this is like a bank taking all its deposits to the casino.......and losing. All of it. This is an absolute disgrace and 'SBF' should go to jail for a very long time.
Derivatives are criminal in any and all investments. Fried is dirty and so is his staff. Jail time.
Lol what? You have no idea what you're talking about. Derivates are primarily used as a hedging or risk management tool. Like any good thing, it can be abused.
I agree with you about derivatives....however they are widely used. How many pensions and insurance companies are invested in CLOs? All of them. Even GLD and SLV are derivatives...and are actually a great analogy to buying crypto on an exchange. If you purchase shares of GLD you don't actually own any gold...just as if you purchase btc on an exchange, you don't actually own any btc.
@@Skyberg21 There are legitimate hedges in commodities, but in order to be a legitimate hedge you need to produce or use the commodity. Like a jeweler may hedge the price of gold or a wheat farmer may hedge the price of wheat. People who use derivatives to short sell a commodity they don't actually store, use, or produce are just market manipulators.
@@sarahbrown5073 Uh currency derivates for companies that do business internationally? That's just one example you missed.
@@sarahbrown5073 don't hold the physical or your keys.....you got nothing.
He's so happy about the Recession coming in, like he's super excited to be witnessing it.
With the current problem around the world today I think it's best everyone invest more in digital asset than Saving in banks and real estate. Just my thoughts
True, I think the importance of investment is highly undermined and overlooked which is probably one of the biggest problem we face today. To me investment strategies should be taught in schools
@@daothai5056 True, imagine what will happen to the banks and houses in Ukraine due to the bomb blast from Russia, It's better to keep money digital no one knows tomorrow
Speaking of digital assets do you mean bitcoin?! I don't think investing in bitcoin now is a good idea, i'm currently running on huge loss the market is crashing
@@terfastarik9698 this is more reason you should invest with an expert, even with the fall in price I make good profits weekly from my investment in bitcoin. Last week I got a profit of $56,000
@@terfastarik9698 digital assets are actually the best
way to save money cause you are earning will you
save unlike banks
This video is how I found out about FTX.
Invest now!
I appreciate your approach to teaching.. To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn't good enough, we just need to hold onto our hopes and wait to see how things turn out because market movements are almost always unpredictable. In my portfolio, I'm noticing more red than green.
thank you
This video was the only video I understood it was well put together simple to follow simple to understand and with good information I finally understand who this guy is what his business was and why it started to fall so on
Except they barely even attracted the surface of how deep the corruption goes with this scandals
👆👆👆 thank you for your feedback.
tell JIM, my trusted investment broker, that I recommend you for a life changing investment opportunity, I recommend him💯..
This is the same thing that happened during the depression, banks did tons of borrowing which lead to bad investment with depositors money. Then that triggered a mass withdraw from said banks forcing them to collapse.....all because it wasn't safely regulated
If the government regulates cryptocurrency, that would completely defeat the purpose of crypto. It wold become a regulated, volatile, currency. think Lebanese pound
Right, and it wasn't the currency (dollars) or the money (gold) that was the problem. It was the banks. Same here. Bitcoin cares as much about these clowns who blew up, as much as gravity cares about them...
I think this is different.
FTX weren't a bank. They were a currency trader. They had no right to treat their customers' funds as collateral.
They treated currency gains as realized gains, and therefore profits, when they weren't. Completely at odds with IFRS.
To me - this seems like a case of fraud.
@Corporate Overlord how so
You’re delusional!! Customer money wasn’t invested genius it was illegally transferred to Alameda Research without oversight. What FTX did was a crime. Wake up🤓🤦🏽♂️
I love how Binance invested in their rival . What a shark move .Hedge your bets .
Hello, are you new to crypto /forex trading?
Thanks for the old news wsj
With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly-which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stocck portfolio
An uptick in volatility is not necessarily a bad thing, there are opportunities to be found even in this whirlwind..Volatility gives you a chance to rebalance. Netflix , Amazon , may have gotten beaten up, but they are still good companies.. You have to get a fiinancial-advisor/brokerr to aid you diversify your portfolio.
Right, I've been in constant touch with a fiinancial-analyst since covid . You know these days it's really easy to buy into trending stock`s, but the task is determining when to buy or sell . My advisorr decides entry and exit commands on my portfoliio, I've accrued over $550k from an initially stagnant reserve of $150K.
Please can you leave the info of your investment advisor here? I’m in dire need for one.
@@friedrichlthulani2136 Sure, the investment-advisor that guides me is Carol Ann Mcelroy, she popular and has quite a following, so it shouldn't be a hassle to find her, just search her
Investing in stocks is a good idea, a good trading system would puts you through many days of success.
Nice content. To me trading the forex and crypto market is way better than any online investment 💯
You are right but the market is profiting if you are using really a good broker or account manager to help out with trades or provide signals
@Patrick Ericsson Wow you really know expert Bridget...? She has been trading for me, her strategies are wonderful and she made me see binary and forex trade from a different dimension. I keep making profits weekly
She trades for me too. I was skeptical initially but got convinced by my uncle who linked me up with her and now earn $6,000 in every $500 i invested with her.
Mrs Bridget Denison is the strategic trader that manage my account. She's really a professional.
My First trade & investment with Ms Bridget Denison gave me $46,300 and that has made me invest without the fear of losing, I got four of my friends that I referred to her and They are making profits just like me_ May God bless Ms Bridget Denison.
Very Interesting I have Mercury in 5th and saturn in 9th. One restricts socializing one supports it lol. What do you think happens in the situtation?
1:34 Those shaking legs during live interview says so much about the professional standard of a person.
If I wanted to know what happened to FTX I certainly wouldn’t trust The Wall Street Journal to tell me.
Well said!
True.
Biden gives US money to Ukraine.
Ukraine gives money to FTX.
FTX gives money to Democrat party for campaigns!
Not a word about that!
Go back to Buzzfeed then.
The left wing media wouldn't mention the details of FTX either since it is the 2nd largest donor to the Democrat party.
If you paid any attention to 6 months ago when Bill Clinton and Tony Blair of all people visited as speakers with Sam, you should've immediately got flashbacks of Theranos.
You skip your meds today?
To point out that the WSJ is a propagandist rag.
Wow, short and straight to the point.
I'm DCAing in VERMONTCORPLTD as well. ETH heavier DCA and ALGO. I'm taking your advice and starting Google tomorrow with a 50 dollar purchase and continuing Microsoft and Apple. VTI and VOO on another app and longterm portfolio. Here we go family!
Daniel Friedberg, the supposed chief regulatory officer of FTX (and the Ultimate Bet poker scandal in 2008) should have a spotlight on him as well and then a potential prison uniform.
WSJ did you forget to mention Gary Gensler connection to SBF on purpose or you haven't done your research correctly at all? He is probably also going to jail if the police do investigate Gensler.
Impolitic thread of the story for the WSJ to pursue - Uncle Joe might send some muscle to their offices.
Everyone is keep saying " FTX lost his value " it's worth noting from the beginning. Same said explained for first day " I tool an empty box and I valuated it to $100,000 " and people start gabling for an empty box😂, there is no real value or service behind his box 😂
thanks
Well who sold off in the early selloff dip Nov 8th?
Then, who sold off in the panic drop Nov 9th?
How much of the loss found its way into Democrat party hands and how much ended up in Ukraine?
Over the last few years I have looked at crypto several times as prices rocketed, but decided to stay clear. If something appears too good to be true, it probably is. How these big players could get duped is another matter, as with subprime scandal a lack of oversight and pure greed has won again.
This was stealing it wasn’t actual investing lol
The same thing people who don't invest in anything say about stocks.
If you ever going to buy in, soon will be the time. Bitcoin only right now tho
Saroko....stocks are real companies!
Very good
WONDERFUL CONTENT INDEED
!!! I respect the work you do here mate because i tell you you're really pointing people in the right direction. Your video has been very engaging and well useful right from the beginning .These are tough times and well frankly I really appreciate how you discuss global finances in such a delicate way because you know business and investment are the best ways to make money even under the nose of the pandemic and you know world problems going on.
I really appreciate your work, thanks again for your good job 💯❤💻
This scam was common in small public companies where one asset, i.e. a patent or copyright, was valued on its future cash flows and used to support the company's stock valuation.
Like mines, most don't make it on their one asset: but that doesn't make it a scam. It's a penny stock play that doesn't pan out. Venture exchanges are there for a very good RISK reason. RISK is not a scam. This guy was born a scam.
Why has Sam not been arrested yet?
I heard his mother is a big time DNC donor, nothing will happen to him because he's a connected Democrat.
Because Drill Rappers are the problem with the financial market. Not rich young thieving white kids.
Fled the country
That woke dweeb is in the Bahamas but I hope he gets extradited and spends life in prison
Major Democratic donor.
What went wrong depends on who you are talking to because, common sense will tell YOU, that everything went perfectly right for the Scammers!! They planned this scheme well. Good luck finding where the Money is, anyway, by the time they know where it went, it's already been spent.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time.
Weird, his brother also got billions from COVID funds. “Protect against pandemics”. He just ran a little non profit mapping DNA and RNA. I’m sure zero COVID funds need up in that index.
His whole family is connected to the WEF

GUUUUUUYS there's a bug right now on the Binnce official DEX, it exchanges for 10x, I made video
Despite the economic downturn, I'm having the best time of my life financially. Earning over 83k dollar in the last 2months with an investment of 19k dollars Money can be made even in a bear market. Make the most of it.
@Nancy Howard How are you able to make that much ?
Truly to build wealth during a recession, you should focus on where you can save money and invest in foreign currency
@Nancy Howard How can I be part of this project? I earnestly hope to build a strong financial future
@Nancy Howard Try EOS price prediction, it's a smart investment because it will rise again.
You probably should make your research properly before venturing into it.
I came here to learn how to invest after listening to a guy on a television program about the importance of investing and how he made $460,000 in 4 months from $160k, somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.
Investing in crypto and stock market is a good idea, a good trading system would put you through many days of success.
It is possible to produce superior performance provided you do something different from the majority. However, most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
A lot has changed and that's on everything but the truth is that i don't even care much about bullish or bearish market because Mr Jeff O'Reilly help me a lot, I am comfortably earning monthly
I have been researching all this while for a digital asset to invest in and I found the crypto market to be the most profiting of them all, I'm definitely bouncing on it.
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing Jeff O'Reilly been mentioned here also. Didn't know he has been good to so many people.
Binance knew what it was doing: it offered help then withdrew its help a couple days later. Why? Because by doing so the demise of FTX would be guaranteed in a matter of just days instead of weeks or perhaps even months.
You try to save then back off at the last second, beautifully executed!!! For sure and without a doubt CZ was applying a secret technique from The Art of War.
Yup!
Yup, CZ even tweeted something like: "Binance has full rights to NOT go through with acquisition after DD." At this point, CZ had already seen the balance sheet. He knew very well that they would not acquire them."
In doing this he was also able to prop up the price of FTX coin long enough to dump his massive amount of FTT. A double win. Smart indeed!
They pulled out because they read their financial statements and saw the hole they were in. No one would buy that company
Safu
Sebastian you’re overthinking this, and it’s kind of cringe. Binance would’ve happily bought them out but they saw that the feds are starting to investigate and nobody would want to buy a company in that situation. No “art of war” or whatever other larp bs you came up with.
