SBF’s brainstorming notes included lines like « Come out against the woke agenda. »
Are you a billionaire in trouble? Why not try coming out as a Republican and fully pivoting into very public complaints about the “woke agenda?” That’s precisely what Sam Bankman-Fried was thinking, according to newly released notes made by the crypto fraudster after FTX’s stunning collapse in 2022.
SBF is scheduled to be sentenced later this month after he was found guilty of fraud last year for extracting billions of dollars from his crypto exchange. Federal prosecutors want SBF to spend 40-50 years in prison, according to a legal filing made public on Friday. But that same filing has some absolutely fascinating Google Doc notes made by SBF himself.
The doc includes a note at the top reading, “these are all random probably bad ideas that aren’t vetted; CONFIDENTIAL.” But they wound up in the hands of prosecutors anyway, labeled as Exhibit C in the filing from Friday.
