ASK DAVID
“How fair is it to compare the relationship between FTX and Alameda Research to the relationship between the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve? Alameda was using client money to buy up FTX’s token (FTT) in order to bolster the price of the FTT. How much different is that from the Fed using taxpayer money to buy US treasuries?”

~ Marty

There are a few pretty substantive differences worth noting. First, the Fed doesn’t actually use taxpayer money to buy treasuries, though it is taxpayer money that is being paid back to the Fed (that is what a Treasury bond is). But the main difference is that the Treasuries on the Fed’s balance sheet are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, and no principal or interest payment has been missed in nearly 250 years. Alameda was backed by FTT, which is worth less than a beanie baby.
