Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried arrives for a bail hearing at Manhattan Federal Court on August 11, 2023 in New York City. Michael M. Santiago | Getty ImagesHeather Ferguson's son lost approximately $130,000 in cash when crypto exchange FTX went bankrupt in November 2022. Ferguson's letter is part of an eleventh hour push by the defense to appeal to Kaplan's sense of leniency as the judge gears up for Bankman-Fried's sentencing hearing on Thursday. Bankman-Fried's psychiatrist, George Lerner, told Judge Lewis Kaplan in a letter in August that the former FTX CEO has a history of depression and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Without his medication, Lerner warned the judge, "Bankman-Fried will experience a return of his depression and ADHD symptoms and will be severely negatively impacted in his ability to assist in his own defense."

☆ ‘Big Short’ investor Steve Eisman says the easy days of buying tech stocks to beat the market are over
  + stars: | 2023-02-27 | by ( Yun Li | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Gone are the days when investors could win by simply buying technology stocks, Steve Eisman of "The Big Short" fame said on Monday. The sharp rise in yields could dent the appeal for equities and hurt asset prices, especially those for growth-oriented stocks. So they've invested in tech stocks, and they've invested in hyper growth stocks, meaning big revenue growth, no earnings, and valuation be damned," Eisman said. "I think the days of investing in companies that have no earnings or have multiples of 200 times will be gone." "I'm not saying you stop buying tech, I think you have to be selective, when you're talking about companies... that have high revenue growth and have negative earnings," Eisman.

The licenses gave FTX access to U.S. commodities derivatives markets as a regulated exchange. FTX also saw its regulatory status as a way of luring new capital from major investors, the documents show. “FTX has the cleanest brand in crypto,” the exchange proclaimed in a June document presented to investors. According to the document, FTX told the regulator it did not have the same issues as products from other providers that the agency had investigated. "We confirmed these were solely rewards based and do not involve lending (or other use) of the deposited crypto," FTX wrote.
