the son of 2 tax experts that have helped draft tax legislation, is insinuating that he doesn't know the basics of what makes his actions fraud, and how he wants to distance himself from Alameda, even though he is a 90% owner, just sounds fishy

[pdntspa]

To say nothing of the fact that he was fucking its CEO. Imagine the pillow talk...

I had the same thought but actually his parents took part of it, they are not just his innocent parents.

Do you have any additional info on this? (Beyond the fact that SBF bought real estate in the Bahamas for his parents, which is indirectly damning)

I don't doubt it, just curious what the evidence is.

> the son of 2 tax experts

I'm no SBF apologist, but this is about the silliest argument you could make. What does what his parents did have anything to do with anything? I don't know anything about my parents' field of expertise.

His parents are the beneficial owners of Bahamas real estate purchased with FTX funds, allegedly for “employee purposes”. This all looks really bad

[c0m]

His father, Joe Bankman, was heavily involved in FTX from very early on, being the firm's first lawyer. Here he is saying as much in his own words: https://youtu.be/MmmXUtRt6xo?t=2140

"Sbf worked closely with tax accountants and lawyers" is a very different argument than "sbf's parents knew about taxes"

oops private video now lol

His parents were both employed by the company and (imho) obviously still providing legal services in a world where all his lawyers dropped him.

He's not dumb, everyone is just taking the bait.
