FTX founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried apparently cannot resist weighing in on his cryptocurrency exchange’s bankruptcy proceedings as he awaits trial on several federal charges linked to the platform’s collapse.
The 30-year-old continues to tweet away about the goings-on while under house arrest at his parents’ home.
Bankman-Fried has refused to stay quiet ever since the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after a proverbial run on the bank led to its downfall, and upwards of a million customers lost billions of dollars. Prior to his arrest, he made several public statements to media outlets and on Twitter spaces events explaining his version of what led to his platform’s downfall.

On Tuesday, Bankman-Fried posted his own balance sheet purportedly showing the FTX U.S. “is solvent” and “always has been,” pushing back against Sullivan & Cromwell’s claims to the contrary.
Then on Thursday, the FTX founder celebrated the news that the CEO who replaced him, John Ray III, is considering re-opening the exchange.
“I’m glad Mr. Ray is finally paying lip service to turning the exchange back on after months of squashing such efforts!” Bankman-Fried tweeted. “I’m still waiting for him to finally admit FTX US is solvent and give customers their money back…”

STORY: Trains and buses across China were packed for one of the busiest days of travel in years on Friday (January 20).Feeding fears of new surges in a raging COVID-19 outbreak that officials say has hit its peak.It comes as China reported a large jump in COVID-19 hospitalizations in the week through to January 15, to the highest since the pandemic began, according to a report published by the World Health Organization on Thursday (January 19).Hospitalizations rose by 70% on the previous week to 63,307, according to the WHO, citing data submitted by Beijing.The same day, state media quoted Vice Premier Sun Chunlan as saying the virus was at a "relatively low" level.And health officials said the number of COVID patients in hospital and with critical conditions was on the decline.But there are widespread doubts about China's official account of an outbreak that has overwhelmed hospitals and funeral homes since Beijing abandoned strict COVID controls and mass testing last month.Some health experts expect that more than one million people will die from the disease in China this year.And documents show spending by funeral homes on items from body bags to cremation ovens has risen in many provinces.Regardless, more than 2 billion trips are expected to take place across China between January 7 and February 15, the government estimates.
