IMO this would contradict what the GP comment asserts: that SBF said "We don't invest client assets (even in treasuries)".

I thought FTX Alemeda (the trading side) invested into their own token, which is tanking thus causing problems.

Alemeda has like $14b assets and $8b in liabilities. But of that $14b, $5b are in their own token (FTT) which is kinda?? worth nothing at this very moment. So now the assets and liabilities are more equally matched, but less margin for shifting values of tokens.

I don’t know, but the derivative of their assets looks scary the last 24hr.
