🍍 Market taste in the present day

The market’s received that sh*t’s about to go down vibe, and truthfully? We’re right here for it 😎 The Concern and Greed Index is flexing at 82 – nonetheless in Excessive Greed zone. Bitcoin’s getting tremendous near $100K, teasing us prefer it is aware of it is the focus.

💀 Horror guidelines, damaged

All my fellow horror film junkies know the golden rule: when you and your mates are partying within the woods and come across some creepy cabin with “Enter when you hate staying alive” written on the door, what do you do?

You stroll in, duh (basic 9000 IQ transfer), however you just be sure you’re not the primary or final one within the line. Center crew at all times has the perfect odds.

In crypto, arguably the scariest film was the FTX collapse. However on the subject of the FTX exec authorized saga? That golden rule someway didn’t apply. Lemme break it down for you.

The primary character right here, ex-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, walked into the court docket first. Massive mistake, bro – he is now gonna spend 25 years in jail.

Then we have the center bunch: Ryan Salame and Caroline Ellison, who scored 7.5 and a pair of years, respectively – not nice, nonetheless means higher than SBF’s destiny.

Nishad Singh, who was fourth in line, walked out with time served and three years of supervised launch. In comparison with the others? Dude virtually received a participation trophy.

However here is the place the horror trope will get twisted: Gary Wang, FTX co-founder and our last-in-line man, utterly dodged jail time. That is ‘trigger, apparently, he is been very cooperative with prosecutors and did not know concerning the fraud till means later.

Now that I give it some thought, this aftermath continues to be giving horror film, however extra so the ultimate lady storyline. Besides as a substitute of a working by means of the woods lined in blood scene, we get Gary Wang quietly strolling out of court docket free.
