What did you say the strategy was?
so i've been out of the crypto news for a while, but did this exchange collapse because the CEO of another exchange sold out of a bunch of their coin to crash it? That's what an article about something else tangentially related said

But gambling with other peoples money is the foundation of financial markets. Did they just do it without the Fed backing it?

People used real money to buy idiot funbux and deposit them at the idiot funbux emporium where idiots lost the funbux, and since the funbux are not actual money and the emporium is not a bank none of this is eligible for FDIC insurance. They're just boned

Looks like its in the executives' bank accounts while they polyamory'd. Oh yeah and money laundering. And facilitating activities, exchanges, and things that are very FPMITAP.

i'm not advocating for it or anything, but i'm saying the inevitable thing that will happen is one of these CEOs is going to get shot. do kwon is in a country that until recently has been difficult for US citizens to enter, much less enter with a gun. (edit: forgot also he fled that country)
