Reply to comment by SlickRick898 in Bahamas May Have Directed 'Unauthorized' FTX Transactions, Filing Says by esporx

If you read the article, it’s just FTX blaming the Bahamian government of somehow hacking into their systems and taking their assets conveniently after they went bankrupt. There’s a 0% chance that the Bahamas is actually responsible for an unprecedented cyberattack on a collapsing company.

But FTX is no longer Sam Bankman Fried. FTX is now run by a new CEO, John J. Ray, who has previously supervised financial scandals such as Enron. He’s not saying the Bahamas are responsible for hacking FTX. He’s saying the Bahamas directed FTX to pay the Bahamian government money FTX owed them after FTX declared bankruptcy. John Ray wants the Bahamian government to give that money back to FTX and get in line with the rest of the people FTX owes money to. Basically he’s accusing the Bahamian government of cutting in line and getting their money first.

When do governments not get their money first?

Well I think we are about to find out. I’m gonna go with, when your government is a small island nation and there are much bigger players than you……you don’t get to go first.

When you make the laws, you get to dictate that. But you don’t make any laws, you’re just here on Reddit spouting prejudiced bullshit.

Laws? There are no laws in the crypto space.

More like you want to stay here, we get paid or you can fuck off.

I would worry more about your life at this point Sam. Some people will not play nice when they lose that kind of money, and you're hiding out in country where it's real real easy to find you and make you go for a walk.

You can kill someone and get out in 4 years, like brutal ass murder (happened to my father in law), but you rob a bank and you're goddamn done when they catch you.

I read the article, but my question isn’t specific to this instance. It is a world wide corruption that needs cleaning. Panama papers? Anyone remember that one?

What are you gonna do bomb the City of London's corrupt elites for using their historical connections to create an off-shore shadow banking world?

I said sanctions. But bombs could work if we put them all in the same room. Maybe tell them there is a big pedo party, rich people love fucking the innocent.

This like this is the realm of negative percentages, or perhaps complex percentages, where we use i (which is the square root of -1)
