It's not even close to another country with no treaty either, so it's not like he planned to fly there to then pay cash for a bus trip to Paraguay or whatever to make it slightly harder to find/arrest him.

What a dumb way to end your life. They would have had a much easier time by coming up with their own crypto pump and dump schemes. There have been countless of those and rarely do the people behind them ever face any charges at all.

reuters posted:

In a subsequent examination, FTX legal and finance teams also learned that Bankman-Fried implemented what the two people described as a "backdoor" in FTX's book-keeping system, which was built using bespoke software.

They said the "backdoor" allowed Bankman-Fried to execute commands that could alter the company's financial records without alerting other people, including external auditors. This set-up meant that the movement of the $10 billion in funds to Alameda did not trigger internal compliance or accounting red flags at FTX, they said.

Crypto exchange FTX was engulfed in further chaos on Saturday when the company said it had detected unauthorized transactions and analysts flagged that millions of dollars of assets had been moved from the platform in "suspicious circumstances".

A take on EA, a strain of rationalist philosophy that led SBF to think actually making huge risky bets is so cool and good that even stealing money to do so is justified

Stephen Diehl posted:

Sam is unique in that his grandiosity stems not purely from unrestrained greed and narcissism—although there is plenty of that—but his philosophical north star of Effective Altruism, an extreme form of Benthamite utilitarianism which espouses the belief that we should extend our ethical locus of concern to all possible sentient beings that may exist in the future. The philosophy attempts to derive, from first principles, an ethical calculus by which we should optimize our actions according to some suppositional fitness function that maximizes the scope and happiness of all future minds. Its adherents believe themselves as ordained prophets sent by the future to guide the progress of humanity according to their oracular pronouncements.

The Effective Altruism philosophy is, in one word: insane. It is a philosophy of unbounded narcissism wrapped in a bizarre, autistically hyperrational framework concerning human existence that gives rise to hubris of cosmic proportions. And, of course, this plays out exactly like in Greek tragedy, as acolytes like SBF fancy themselves as agents of the future supposedly single-handedly able to steer humanity’s path through the future Great Filters of existential risk, all while his Bahamanian bucket shop couldn’t do effective risk management of their dog-themed money.

Thailand also has an extradition treaty with the US, is a close US ally, and given the current government there and their respect for human rights there's a non-0 chance he gets taken as a bargaining chip. It's a much worse place to flee to than Argentina which at least has a chilly relationship with the US rn.
