Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has concluded a Twitter thread he started Nov. 14. In approximately 40 hours, he spelled out \u201cWhat HAPPENED\u201d across nine tweets and then concluded with five tweets of text.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The unusual Twitter storm attracted extensive attention. The first tweet (\u201cWhat\u201d), for example, was retweeted nearly 6,000 times as of the afternoon of Nov. 15, with over 6,000 quote tweets on top of that. <\/p>\n

In the text tweets, Bankman-Fried (SBF) promises to tell what happened \u201cas I remember it.\u201d According to the 12th tweet, posted the morning of Nov. 15, \u201cTo the best of my knowledge, as of post-11\/7, with the potential for errors: a) Alameda had more assets than liabilities M2M (but not liquid!) b) Alameda had margin position on FTX Intl c) FTX US had enough to repay all customers Not everyone necessarily agrees with this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The disagreement his Twitter thread inspired was considerable. Some users just wanted to send<\/a> a few words<\/a> of negativity, such as \u201cShut up and Go to jail,\u201d or \u201cAll lies.\u201d Others\u00a0offered<\/a> support, such as \u201cEveryone messes up in life. Can\u2019t make things better in a day. But if your intentions are good, people will rally behind you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Autism Capital tweeted<\/a> a screenshot of a lengthy message alleged to be from an employee on the FTX company Slack that read, \u201cSam, respectfully, this is not helping. [\u2026] Your tweets just made people more mad that you had the audacity to tweet something cryptic when people\u2019s lives have been destroyed.\u201d The author went on to say that the tweets were causing tension among people who were waiting for news in them, and: <\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of us idolised you Sam and you have let us down.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
