> I tried, in the previous section, to capture the horrors of FTX’s balance sheet as it spiraled into bankruptcy. But, as I said, there is something important missing in that account. What’s missing is the money. What’s missing is that FTX had at some point something like $16 billion of customer money, but most of its assets turned out to be tokens that it made up. It did not pay $16 billion for those tokens, or even $1 billion, probably. 7 Money came in, but then when customers came to FTX and pried open the doors of the safe, all they found were cobwebs and Serum. Where did the money go?


I feel like all the news stories are ignoring some very blatant questions like this. Maybe they are just waiting for more details to come out?


Levered losses?


It went into that @fiat account which was probably Alameda


I would assume most of it was stolen.
