SBF's Private Writings Leak: Still Blaming Everyone Else
NYT just dropped leaked diary entries from Sam Bankman-Fried's house arrest days. Plot twist? Dude still hasn't figured out he's the problem.
The wildest part: "I'm broke and wearing an ankle monitor... probably never make my lifetime impact net positive." Broke? You literally lost $8 BILLION of customer money. People lost life savings. But sure, let's cry about your ruined reputation.
And then this gem: "I did what I thought was right." Classic ends-justify-the-means playbook that got him locked up in the first place.
Here's who he's actually blaming: - Caroline Ellison (ex-GF/Alameda CEO) – claims she botched a trade - Sullivan & Cromwell lawyers – "they constructed the narrative" about misappropriating user funds - Everyone except... himself?
Turns out his whole "effective altruism" billionaire-philanthropist image was theater. The Corolla-driving thing? Fake. Private jets, luxury real estate, on-demand everything – that was the real Sam.
Even his parents (Stanford law profs) are still riding with him. His mom gave him the consequentialist ethics framework; his dad hung around FTX giving tax advice. His brother ran a charity funded entirely by FTX money while daydreaming about buying a private island for life extension research.
So: $8B missing, crypto market got torched, thousands got rekt... and this guy's biggest regret is that people don't see him as a brilliant statesman anymore. The audacity is insane.
