Of course he knew he was going to be arrested, but if he admits he is literally saying he is guilty. You always need to claim you are inocent therefore you won't be arrested.

The idea that everyone assumes that blows my mind when, objectively speaking, it's just as reasonable to assume he was lying... GOOD GOSH. Why is that the one thing people are believing him on? Why the actual poop would you assume that he would say "yes, I expect to be"? Sadly, I'm just realizing that that's another knock against Coffee's credibility, along with the bizzare endorsement of Legal Eagle, pretty much the only YT lawyer with multiple documented cases of lying and arguing in bad faith.

@@ure2grit931 The current CEO of FTX, tasked with winding up of the company, is John Ray III. He was also the chairman of Enron Creditors Recovery Corp, which had a similar objective with regards to Enron.
Problem with Sam is he went into the wrong industry. He seems like he would have made a perfect politician. The way he can convince himself intentional choices he made were "embarrassing mistakes" is impeccable.
As a Korean, can you do a story on Kwon Do-hyung of Luna? He has done the exact same thing as SBF and somehow managed to evade authorities and having a time of his life spending the fortune he defrauded from everyday people.
I heard that South Korea did file charges against him but he lives in Singapore rn and they don't an extradition treaty with SK, so there'd need to be negotiations and stuff
Do kwon though an idiot wasn’t actually doing anything shady his model was terrible anybody who did due diligence would know it was a time bomb before it collapsed.
Coffee covered Luna several times and I highly doubt Do Dwon is having the time of his life, dude is on the run and prolly stressed to the max, only a matter of time before he gets caught and nailed to the wall. You can bet Coffee will be all over it too 😁
Your persistence in your pursuit to justice paid off! Unfortunately it wasn’t until millions of people lost Billions of dollars in the process, it was just a matter of time. I discovered your channel back when you had just started and look how quickly you have evolved. Incredible work Coffee!
Remember when this channel was sub 50K subscribers and great to see the impact this channel has and by extension community! Importantly, Coffezilla has upheld has integrity whilst others have wavered. Let's catch some more of those crooks!
Coffee…I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your reporting & journalism in this case are next level. This will without a doubt take you to another level. Congrats, man. Great work.
Think chess not checkers, Coffeezilla is putting a big target on his back, because SBF was not by his lonesome, he fed a lot of sharks in the water. In an attempt to cover their asses our boy could be in some deep doodoo with them.
This has already put him on the next level. To the layman, he is the pro when it comes to investigative crypto. He was on Lex Friendman, it wouldn’t surprise me if he was on Rogan here soon enough.
Really interested to see what Sam’s legal strategy will be. He’s been talking a big game about how innocent he is and how this is all just a big oopsie, but when he’s staring down the possibility of years of hard time, a plea deal can probably look pretty attractive.
Plea deal with what? he broke af unless he got dirt on other insituitions or people, i doubt he gonna weasle himself out of jailtime especially with the goverment wanting to make an example on the growuing unregulate crypto world because of high profile and press coverage
When I heard the news I knew this video was coming soon. Glad to see you fighting the good fight against these scammers and financial ghouls, Coffee. Awesome work on this whole FTX saga.
I lost so much on just hold FTX, but that did weigh me down because I invest with Amanda Moore Hinton. She's the best when it comes to making high profits in the financial market, she's well accredited and proficient to help you through managing your investments..She's highly trusted and recommended....
So much to say about this woman but no one indicated on how to reach her because I'm very much interested to start up investment with her, pls can someone help with her info ?? I'm still trying to come out of my losses i need help with her info i know she can help me.
I like that the investigations were done quietly 1) so he couldn't flee after catching wind, and 2) cause it makes all of the built up frustration at the interviews worth it to see him so suddenly get slammed
They were done quietly because the DNC CIA SEC have their fingerprints all over this. He was arrested because he was about name names to congress about which Marxists who got the stolen money.
Can’t escape the irs even in the bahamas sam, that was your biggest little “oopsy my bad”. Amazing work coffee, your growth has been incredible to be a part of the past year.
IRS? He was charged with wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, investor fraud, conspiracy to commit investor fraud, and 4 other things, nothing to do with the IRS
the man exposed the corruption of the FTX foundation, they will be tried,we need more journalists and CZcamsrs investigate government, financial, entrepreneurship fraud
dude jesus. stop the personality worship. thats one of the biggest takeaways from the FTX case. and youre doing it right now. with you hero. coffee aint perfect. he likes bitcoin and ETH. he sees possibilities. you can hear him quoted saying that. and theyre scams. even if you had zero proof he wasnt all that, you still dont personality worship. thats the lesson from the FTX case and most of crypto
just because you dont do any research and obviously just stay in your bubble doesn't mean no one else covers it.. How did I know about him getting arrested yesterday if coffezilla is the only one covering it?

Coffee - can you do a deep dive of the House committee hearing questions?

@@cuddlecakes7153 really? the media has its time to label someone like Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks the name 'terrorist', 'spy' or whatever BS is on the media, they idolized him, would call him a kid with ambitions in finance but he is a scammer not to mention he is an asset to way more bigger people, investors such as politicians, senators, CEOs and people like Epstein
FTX using Quickbooks is like Disney going to a single accountant at their local H&R Block to handle all of their revenues. That should highlight just how absurd this really was.
How does him being arrested provide justice to the people who lost their money? Those people will never get any of that money back. The elephant in the room here is that they deserved to lose it. Why? Because anyone with two brain cells knew Ftx was shady at the very least. Their platform sounded too good to be true, so smart people knew it was.

@@anonymoose2474 Ehh kind of? He got SBF to admit to questionable business decisions that could be construed as fraud. Its not like SBF is going to prison because of Coffee. That would happen either way. Breaking the Jay Mazini story to a mainstream audience and interviewing his victims was a much bigger accomplishment.
@@anonymoose2474 that didn't start the investigation nor did it lead to his arrest. They did their own investigation. The arrest would have happened without this. They did not file charges based on the video. The interview isn't even evidence right now. Get your stuff straight. Correlation is not equal to causation
You did an awesome job with everything, Coffee! I hope that law enforcement even wants to use any of your interviews with SBF, because a few of them are pretty damning against him.
Your documentation and conversation with Sam has been KEY to putting this together. Congratulations Coffee!! You KNEW - and you told us so! I have just one question... 'How the hell does the $10 Million Studio do the steam on your coffee??'
It was also hilarious how he screwed up his own extradition hearing, resulting in him spending an extra day in Bahamanian jail. if he had just shut up and did what his lawyers told him to do, he would have been on a plane back to the US that day.
You killed the work that you put into this. I've heard you referenced a few times since this really kicked off but even with that it is almost understated. Good job man
I've been refreshing my feed since you posted that update yesterday. Tons of people made videos but none were more anticipated than yours.

Then he needs to fire his accountant and hire a new one.

Not an accounting student, but my father and sisters are chartered accountants. While my sisters were studying corporate governance, they used to tell me stories regarding Enron and what happened there. Literally had goosebumps while seeing that guy.
You two better toughen up, if just hearing about Enron gets you all worked up you’re going to have a tough time in life.
Context please, what did the enron guy do
I heard about the Enron guy once. Apparently his blood runs so cold they need to turn heaters on in any room he walks into.
@@ure2grit931 The current CEO of FTX, tasked with winding up of the company, is John Ray III. He was also the chairman of Enron Creditors Recovery Corp, which had a similar objective with regards to Enron.
Problem with Sam is he went into the wrong industry. He seems like he would have made a perfect politician. The way he can convince himself intentional choices he made were "embarrassing mistakes" is impeccable.
Oy vey they already have too many in politics
Prisons have plenty of folks who were just bad at business
Pitty he has negative charisma. He had to go into some sort of industry that would make him money.
@@Cozmox874 not everything is about Jews
Well the majority of his “investments” were to the Democratic Party, so maybe he wanted to be one one day.
How can a corporation not have any external accounting controls and regular audits to allow ONE person to mishandle all those funds?
Your cross platform pieces and interviews are always so good! Thanks ^_^
As a Korean, can you do a story on Kwon Do-hyung of Luna? He has done the exact same thing as SBF and somehow managed to evade authorities and having a time of his life spending the fortune he defrauded from everyday people.
He has a couple videos on luna's downfall already, check his channel
I heard that South Korea did file charges against him but he lives in Singapore rn and they don't an extradition treaty with SK, so there'd need to be negotiations and stuff
Do kwon though an idiot wasn’t actually doing anything shady his model was terrible anybody who did due diligence would know it was a time bomb before it collapsed.
@@omaribnalahmed5967 do kwon is far from an idiot and what you describe as a poor model may have been designed as such on purpose.
Coffee covered Luna several times and I highly doubt Do Dwon is having the time of his life, dude is on the run and prolly stressed to the max, only a matter of time before he gets caught and nailed to the wall. You can bet Coffee will be all over it too 😁
Your persistence in your pursuit to justice paid off! Unfortunately it wasn’t until millions of people lost Billions of dollars in the process, it was just a matter of time. I discovered your channel back when you had just started and look how quickly you have evolved. Incredible work Coffee!
@UCH3tlful_h159IZ2oVCUZew man that's sad but ironically still worked out in the end anyway.
well done coffee. been pumping the stock since 100k subs. youve had an amazing run so far. keep up the fantastic work.
There's a lot of messed up people that are desprate in the world, I hope you and your family are staying safe Coffee. Much love from a fan, stay safe
Remember when this channel was sub 50K subscribers and great to see the impact this channel has and by extension community! Importantly, Coffezilla has upheld has integrity whilst others have wavered. Let's catch some more of those crooks!

Dial up and shit
Coffee…I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, your reporting & journalism in this case are next level.
This will without a doubt take you to another level. Congrats, man. Great work.
Journalism isn’t dead, it just went to CZcams
Unfortunately google/CZcams censors and shuts down most forms of real journalism
Think chess not checkers, Coffeezilla is putting a big target on his back, because SBF was not by his lonesome, he fed a lot of sharks in the water. In an attempt to cover their asses our boy could be in some deep doodoo with them.
This has already put him on the next level. To the layman, he is the pro when it comes to investigative crypto. He was on Lex Friendman, it wouldn’t surprise me if he was on Rogan here soon enough.
@@PartiallyC0rrect its all a lie. Sam is a cia asset. His purpose is too give the US government a reason to end all unregulated crypto
Great work Coffeezilla.... 👏 👍
Love legal eagle. Nice segment to add in there
Really interested to see what Sam’s legal strategy will be. He’s been talking a big game about how innocent he is and how this is all just a big oopsie, but when he’s staring down the possibility of years of hard time, a plea deal can probably look pretty attractive.
I mean, by judging the lawyer that took his case, we can expect a really interesting defense. And with interesting I mean effd up
The only thing I can imagine him having to offer, tho, is $$ he might have stashed in secret accounts.
Plea deal with what? he broke af unless he got dirt on other insituitions or people, i doubt he gonna weasle himself out of jailtime especially with the goverment wanting to make an example on the growuing unregulate crypto world because of high profile and press coverage
@@siinxx7656 I thought his parents would want to be a part of his legal team. I hope they are better lawyers than parents.
No plea deal here, Cameras would unexpectedly stop working on his jail cell
When I heard the news I knew this video was coming soon.
Glad to see you fighting the good fight against these scammers and financial ghouls, Coffee. Awesome work on this whole FTX saga.
I was hoping CF would make a video on SBF being arrested and have fun with it .
@@randoir1863
Well we will definitely get a good video breaking down the investigation and prosecution I'm sure.
same! i heard the news earlier and was like oooooooooh shit! was glad to see a CZ vid pop up pretty quickly. it's been stellar coverage.
Best breakdown on CZcams, great job!
I lost so much on just hold FTX, but that did weigh me down because I invest with Amanda Moore Hinton. She's the best when it comes to making high profits in the financial market, she's well accredited and proficient to help you through managing your investments..She's highly trusted and recommended....
I've also been trading with her, the profits are secured and over 100% return on investment directly sent to your wallet..
Wow amazing to see others trading with Mrs Amanda Moore, I'm currently making my 5th trade with her and my portfolio has grown tremendously..
So much to say about this woman but no one indicated on how to reach her because I'm very much interested to start up investment with her, pls can someone help with her info ?? I'm still trying to come out of my losses i need help with her info i know she can help me.
You can communicate with her on telegam with the user name below..

Thanks CoffeeZilla.
Seriously you CZcamsrs are fast becoming what Newsprint journalism used to be.
It was about 4 years ago but it got shut down.
They already have.
Seriously, the most informed people in politics all watch CZcamsrs who cover the news.
I like that the investigations were done quietly 1) so he couldn't flee after catching wind, and 2) cause it makes all of the built up frustration at the interviews worth it to see him so suddenly get slammed
Where is he going to flee to ? He looks like a goblin or gargoyle...he'd have to move to a remote Hungarian goat farm.
@@evanbirch3755 Would likely flee to a country that wouldn't turn him back over to the US upon request and evidence of his crimes.
They even got a nice little bonus of allowing him to run his mouth and effectively help dig his own grave.
What a dumb fuck lmao
They were done quietly because the DNC CIA SEC have their fingerprints all over this. He was arrested because he was about name names to congress about which Marxists who got the stolen money.
@@iakan6937 So either Russia, China or Cuba
This is the best channel I’ve subscribed too. Thanks Coffee this is top tier content.
Can’t escape the irs even in the bahamas sam, that was your biggest little “oopsy my bad”. Amazing work coffee, your growth has been incredible to be a part of the past year.
tfw my old heroin dealer probably has cleaner, more honest taxes than this dude lmao
IRS? He was charged with wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, investor fraud, conspiracy to commit investor fraud, and 4 other things, nothing to do with the IRS
Coffeezilla, my homie, you slammed the nails in this scammer's coffin. You deserve the kudos and the credit - bravo!
the man exposed the corruption of the FTX foundation, they will be tried,we need more journalists and CZcamsrs investigate government, financial, entrepreneurship fraud
plus there will be a dive that speaks about Ukrainian government officials laundering money
amazing work!
I half-expected Coffee to start the video by dancing lol.
Coffeezilla, I hope you never fade away like a lot of awesome creators.. someone protect this man 🔥🌟

No shortage of scammers to expose
dude jesus. stop the personality worship. thats one of the biggest takeaways from the FTX case. and youre doing it right now. with you hero. coffee aint perfect. he likes bitcoin and ETH. he sees possibilities. you can hear him quoted saying that. and theyre scams. even if you had zero proof he wasnt all that, you still dont personality worship. thats the lesson from the FTX case and most of crypto
@@markheinle6319 thanks
@@SM-ol9nb exactly 🔥
Coffee should get like an FBI Most Wanted List and get the scammers he's covered crossed out once they get arrested.
He does unbiased reporting of the facts as they unwind, so putting someone on e list like that is a bit prejudicial
Cool idea.
Coffeesilla is cementing his reputation as the king of scammer research after this. Well done bro!
I am so grateful people like you exist! You are actively not only helping people but PROTECTING people every day with what you do.
Pretty sure Sam's jail cell cameras are about to fail lol.
There were some BIG players who got suckered so yeah.. it's definitely a possibility.
This is going into the history books with you as a primary source, good job lad 👍
"A great CZcams Lawyer"
"Legal Eagle"

Quality content with professional delivery.
You are the only person covering this that actually held his feet to the fire and asked pertinent questions. Great job!
just because you dont do any research and obviously just stay in your bubble doesn't mean no one else covers it.. How did I know about him getting arrested yesterday if coffezilla is the only one covering it?
@@christking85 you should take reading classes bro, otherwise stop cherry picking what you want to read and actually take the time to read :)
"you are the only person covering this "THAT ACTUALLY HELD HIS FEET TO THE FIRE AND ASKED PERTINENT QUESTIONS."
cherrypicking automatically invalidated your comment.
The fact that you feel like no one else has been holding SBF accountable is a testament to how slippery he has been. It also makes Coffee getting him to admit publicly to fraud that much more amazing.
@@Meat88 Slippery? Sbf is the most obviously guilty guy since OJ Simpson. The only reason the media is being nice is because they were told to by the people SBF bribed with "campaign donations."
@@Captain-Nikolai lol exactly...
coffeezilla it's been an incredible journey following your CZcams career over these last few years. This is yet another accomplishment truly to feel proud of.
Great explanation 👍
Coffee - can you do a deep dive of the House committee hearing questions? AOC posed a really interesting question about some time gaps just before the bankruptcy filing where FTX platform was opened to allow the Bahamas to withdraw funds before it froze. And then convenient timing of information release and SBF arrest. Very suspicous.
that video of him running away killed me LOL
Now I just wanna see your videos being shown at the trial as evidence
Or Coffee cross examining Sam at the hearing😂😂
They should hire him.
Or as a resource witness

No, no...
This is exactly his weight class now.

The legal eagle collab is chefs kiss. I was excited to see this after I saw him get arrested.
This was going to happen regardless of Coffezilla
@@cuddlecakes7153 doubtful, he is a tribesmen, without coffeezilla and by proxy a lot of large CZcamsrs spreading what he got, it would be doubtful the authorities would do anything
But now there is too much heat, he is too much in the public eye, they have to at least arrest him or pretend to.
@@alexmag342. Lol. Yes it was, I’m sure the FBI don’t give a fuck about YouTubing information retard
@@cuddlecakes7153 really? the media has its time to label someone like Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks the name 'terrorist', 'spy' or whatever BS is on the media, they idolized him, would call him a kid with ambitions in finance but he is a scammer not to mention he is an asset to way more bigger people, investors such as politicians, senators, CEOs and people like Epstein
They'll pick up a penny
They won't drop the dime!
109 times,
But never a crime!
Coffeezilla.. You're a superhero.
I wish I had your resources. "Minor" scams deserve to be shut down as well.. And there are so many..
FTX using Quickbooks is like Disney going to a single accountant at their local H&R Block to handle all of their revenues. That should highlight just how absurd this really was.
“I don’t think I TRIED to do anything wrong”
It doesn’t work like that Sammy
@@shaneperreault Sam bankrun Fraud
The best news ever! Justice to the people who have lost their money!
Crypto "investors" are idiots
How does him being arrested provide justice to the people who lost their money? Those people will never get any of that money back. The elephant in the room here is that they deserved to lose it. Why? Because anyone with two brain cells knew Ftx was shady at the very least. Their platform sounded too good to be true, so smart people knew it was.
Sadly this is looking more like no one is really going to be getting much of their money back.
First what kind of idiot dumps a ton of money into Bitcoin after all the other people made theirs you know you're going to lose money or you're an idiot second I would love to see pictures of this guy in prison they are going to eat him up and spit him out
Psh, this isn't justice. They don't want him spilling the beans about democrats. They don't care if people getting robbed.
Lol not a Bahamas ad at the end 😂😂
so happy coffeezilla came into my life
It's amazing to see how many people pay attention to you these days and how far this channel has gotten.
Remember the Dan Lok days?!
@@Thor-Orion Dan Lok and Tai Lopez! So many scammers out there.
I’m new here great channel
This is undoubtedly a HUGE, if not, the BIGGEST achievement you have ever achieved. Well done, coffee 🔥
He didn't do it though
@@AVeryOldLady4397 he got SBF to admit to fraud
@@anonymoose2474 Ehh kind of? He got SBF to admit to questionable business decisions that could be construed as fraud. Its not like SBF is going to prison because of Coffee. That would happen either way. Breaking the Jay Mazini story to a mainstream audience and interviewing his victims was a much bigger accomplishment.
Yup. Crime of the century
@@anonymoose2474 that didn't start the investigation nor did it lead to his arrest. They did their own investigation. The arrest would have happened without this. They did not file charges based on the video. The interview isn't even evidence right now. Get your stuff straight. Correlation is not equal to causation
Outstanding EDITING!!!!!! 👍🏻🇺🇲
Coffeezilla. You sir are a hero amongst men
You did an awesome job with everything, Coffee! I hope that law enforcement even wants to use any of your interviews with SBF, because a few of them are pretty damning against him.
I bet they did use his
That would be so damn satisfying.
Your documentation and conversation with Sam has been KEY to putting this together.
Congratulations Coffee!! You KNEW - and you told us so!
I have just one question... 'How the hell does the $10 Million Studio do the steam on your coffee??'
Probably just a steam overlay added in post
Just add another million..
"as fast as the government can do... Basically anything" roasted!!
You in the south park parody is gold. gj man!
It's not an actual SP cartoon though. It was inspired by the BP Oil CEO joke SP did a while back.
This has been nothing less of an amazing story to follow! Thank you Coffeezilla!
CoffeeZilla is officially the first youtuber to expose and contribute to an arrest of a multi-billion dollar fraud
Twice. Jay Mazini was first
he didnt contribute anything tbh.
He didn’t really contribute to this, he was just reporting on news as it happens.
@@mhmdrifaie1049 this tbh
He literally got SBF to admit to allowing generalized withdrawals - mixing assets of margin trading customers with general customers 😂😂😂
that is a very well made set you have
It was also hilarious how he screwed up his own extradition hearing, resulting in him spending an extra day in Bahamanian jail. if he had just shut up and did what his lawyers told him to do, he would have been on a plane back to the US that day.
You killed the work that you put into this. I've heard you referenced a few times since this really kicked off but even with that it is almost understated. Good job man
Out of interest, who is referencing CZ? That's awesome.
"Great youtube lawyer" legal eagle

Should have gotten Rackets
Only thing better than a Coffeezilla video is one featuring Devon.
I've been refreshing my feed since you posted that update yesterday. Tons of people made videos but none were more anticipated than yours. You are single handedly the most thorough journalist of this generation and you give the profession a good name. It's crazy that the saga has come to an end but I knew you'd be the one to write the final chapter. Great work as always Coffee!
Emily D. Baker here on CZcams was saying you should be one of the people that help in testimonies and evidence. It was incredible to see my subscription worlds cross paths.
