    Oh. Your. God.

    Shit appears to be rapidly imploding at FTX. Lots of money is being moved out of it, and nobody knows why or who is doing it. Numerous folks are saying that their accounts have been hacked and that FTX itself has been hacked. And I hope you really like nuts on your sundae because here they come: One of the execs at FTX was previously an exec at, wait for it, Enron!

    Wow. If anybody ever deserved to be canceled, it's the fucks who ran Enron.

    After the bankruptcy filing, FTX and FTX.US were ‘hacked’ with $380m in client funds stolen.

    The founder and former CEO is on his way to Argentina.

    I gave up on Forbes when Malcolm died and his gold-bug weirdo son took over. :brood:

    Yeah, Malcolm had a warmth and a sense of humor that Steve lacked. I'll never forget Malcolm responding to Johnny Carson's question about if he felt any obligation to help the poor by saying, "Well, when you earn your money the hard way like I did. I inherited it..."

    Of course, price is substantially lower than that circle after the FTX blow up.

    Good news is, it's on sale at the moment - nearly half-price from when I posted that chart! I mean, if ever there was a time to bet the farm - that time is now*.

    *Disclaimer: Time might not be now. Majority of farm betters lose farm.
