Presumably writing from his parents' $4 million property in Palo Alto, California near Stanford, Sam Bankman-Fried published a lengthy newsletter yesterday, titled "FTX Pre-Mortem Overview."
One statement stood out to me: "I didn't steal funds, and I certainly didn't stash billions away."
In the note, Bankman-Fried highlighted that both FTX and Alameda Research were raking in billions in profits in 2021.
A key to the collapse, he explained, was 2022's crypto bear market that left just about every token worth dramatically less than the year prior.
Well, Bankman-Fried yesterday outlined two versions of the hedge fund's balance sheet, one from each of the past two years.
