I have been actively exposing and challenging these situations for 15 years - I used to make software for investment banks too, a long time ago. I am fully conscious of the potentials. ;)
I just read this new interview with SBF where he apparently literally admits to being a conman.. He just doesn't seem to realise the implications of his words.

I was looking through some old twitter posts and it appears SBF and his bahama crew are all strung out on meth by some of the older posts verbiage and also his erratic and strange posts lately and nervous shaking in interviews. But that's just speculation and knowing what it does to you.
He used to advise team members to use stimulants and sleeping pills, yes. The only evidence of what he actually took that I have seen is from an image which shows he was using a medical patch that is usually given to dementia patients - as opposed to meth itself.
Yeah. Could be a number of things. I haven't used in a long time but I had my fun and did just about everything. I can tell you that in a 24/7 industry like crypto if I was a billionaire who felt invincible, meth would be my go to and I'd tell people it was something else. Just sayin.
There are enough variants that are similar that there isn't really any need to use things that are 'illegal' in the majority of cases. Personally, I would pass the business on to other people to run so I could use the money to add more meaningfully to the world. I would have said that he seemed to think he was doing that anyway, but after reading that Vox interview he sounds like a deviant who just doesn't understand reality enough to know how to live in balance.
Well the alameda CEO posted a twitter post that literally says something about using meth and uses the word "meth" in the post so unless she was joking they've been around it at some point and are familiar with it. And tbh at his level "illegal" becomes not much of a concern like it would be to most people. You can talk or pay your way out of just about anything. But I could be wrong and drawing inaccurate conclusions
Probably all true, yes.
Either way he's strung out on some sort of amphetamines... could be prescription. Also could be contributing to screwing up the scam. Lack of sleep, impulsive behavior, inability to think as critically as normal while thinking you are thinking critically. That's dangerous when gambling with billions in crypto. I definitely don't think he was expecting the ship to sink this soon.
Not for the high but because after you're high, you are just awake and highly focused like OCD focused. It makes you feel smarter than you are though and you would fire off strange tweets that end up backfiring because after you're up for two or three days straight you feel like you're clear in the head when you're really not. Most stimulants are similar but crystal is the rocket fuel.
