I was wondering why SBF seemingly behaved like an innocent man. Giving interviews, talking to podcasters, remaining at his residence.
Why didn’t he make a run for it?
If he did take all those billions as was claimed, why didn’t he move to a country that doesn’t extradite or just move off the grid for a couple years?
Was he burnt out? complacent? drugs?
Or did he never have that money in the first place?
He checks notes only stole from rich people. I see no crimes here. Just some good old payback.
He didn’t though. He stole from people who were into Crypto. Sure a lot of them were rich, many weren’t rich but did have disposable income, and plenty were just stupid and thought crypto would be the way they would GET rich. But he didn’t only steal from rich people.
I haven’t really followed this too closely so good chance I am misremembering or just wrong here.
Didn’t he essential steal from everyone using FTX since customers are likely not going to get much back after the portion for taxes and whatever else is taken out first?
That would include a lot of rich people but probably a lot of average people and irresponsible/poor people as well.
