That Was The Week

Bank Man Fried

Listen Later

This week saw FTX shrink from $32 billion of value to zero in less than 48 hours. @TheInformation is doing great reporting. It seems the ill-named founder @SBF_FTX - Sam Bankman-Fried - invested hundreds of millions into Sequoia and other funds. The @SECGov failure to provide a regulatory framework for Crypto seems even more silly. But @DavidKirkpatric and @LHSummers provide a thoughtful distraction from the noise.
