it would be even funnier if Harry Potter was the only one who ever tried.

everyone else is an outsider who doesn�t know dick from poo poo, or an insider who was raised to never question the sorting hat.

i think it's mentioned in the second book that he is indeed the first one to specifically ask the hat for a house, it also looks hilarious in the movies where they have the hat talking aloud so everyone should know he did that but have to act like they couldn't hear it for the entire series

Alameda had like 36 billion in tether at one point and the tether guy is claiming they just sent over that amount of money to recieve it.

Wondering if the bankruptcy proceedings will reveal the cash payment to tether printing ratio that all the big crypto players have been hiding.

its actually even stupider than this

if you sent FTX Global ActualMoney, their terms of service said they would take that and give you "E-Money"

they never explain what the gently caress E-Money is, and importantly unlike crypto, they do not say that you retain title to your ActualMoney or even your E-Money

this is likely to be a fun, exciting surprise to many depositors in the bankruptcy

like, look at this poo poo:

quote:

Where specified on the Site or in a Service Schedule, and depending on your location, the Platform may support various fiat currencies for deposit, withdrawal, and/or trading, using wire transfers, credit cards, or other appropriate methods. Once we receive fiat currency that you load into your Account, we may issue you with an equivalent amount of electronic money ("E-Money"), denominated in the relevant fiat currency, which represents the fiat currency that you have loaded. This amount will be displayed in your Account. E-MONEY IS NOT LEGAL TENDER. FTX TRADING IS NOT A DEPOSITORY INSTITUTION AND YOUR E-MONEY IS NOT A DEPOSIT OR INVESTMENT ACCOUNT. YOUR E-MONEY ACCOUNT IS NOT INSURED BY ANY PUBLIC OR PRIVATE DEPOSIT INSURANCE AGENCY.

E-Money held in your Account will not earn any interest. Your Account may hold E-Money denominated in different currencies and we will show the E-Money balance for each currency that you hold. You may purchase Digital Assets by using E-Money credited to your Account (depending on your location). To carry out a Digital Asset purchase using EMoney, you must follow the relevant instructions on the Site. You authorise us to debit E-Money from your Account to complete your purchase. Although we will attempt to deliver Digital Assets to you as promptly as possible, E-Money may be debited from your Account before Digital Assets are delivered to your Account.

You may sell Digital Assets in exchange for certain fiat currencies (depending on your location). To carry out a Digital Asset sale, you must follow the relevant instructions on the Site. You authorise us to debit Digital Assets from your Account and send instructions to credit your Account with the relevant amount of fiat currency.

Once we receive the fiat currency, we will issue you with an equivalent amount of E-Money denominated in the relevant fiat currency. You may redeem all or part of any E-Money held in your Account at any time subject to outages, downtime, and other applicable policies (including the Terms), by selecting the relevant option in the Site and following the instructions.

Unless agreed otherwise, funds will be transferred to the bank account you have registered with us. You hereby represent and warrant that this bank account is your own, and that you have full control over it. It is your responsibility entirely to provide us with correct details of your withdrawal account. We accept no liability resulting in you not receiving any amounts withdrawn by you due to you providing incorrect or out-of-date details.

If the Terms are terminated, we may redeem any E-Money remaining in your Account and attempt to transfer the equivalent amount of fiat currency to the bank account you have registered with us. Prior to redeeming E-Money from your Account, we may conduct checks for the purposes of preventing fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing and other financial crimes, and as required by Applicable Law. This may mean you are prevented or delayed from withdrawing E-Money until those checks are completed to our reasonable satisfaction in order to comply with our regulatory requirements.

compare this nonsense to their relatively clear stuff on Crypto"Money"

All Digital Assets are held in your Account on the following basis:
(A) Title to your Digital Assets shall at all times remain with you and shall not transfer to FTX Trading. As the owner of Digital Assets in your Account, you shall bear all risk of loss of such Digital Assets. FTX Trading shall have no liability for fluctuations in the fiat currency value of Digital Assets held in your Account.
(B) None of the Digital Assets in your Account are the property of, or shall or may be loaned to, FTX Trading; FTX Trading does not represent or treat Digital Assets in User�s Accounts as belonging to FTX Trading.
(C) You control the Digital Assets held in your Account. At any time, subject to outages, downtime, and other applicable policies (including the Terms), you may withdraw your Digital Assets by sending them to a different blockchain address controlled by you or a third party

yeah but if you don't like the hat's decision you can just tell it to pick again
this even happened to the main character of the novels who told the hat "actually i dont want to be Evil" so it recategorized him as Brave instead

so they invented another digital pog, but without any of the hassle of a block chain or whatever, gave it yet another classification, and sold it to people on the premise that they might receive something nearly resembling money in exchange for actual dollars?

In recent days, Ellison has faced a barrage of particularly nasty criticism from crypto boosters who blame her for overseeing the downfall of Alameda. But amid the vitriol she has found some defenders in an unlikely group of people who have celebrated the musings about race science and imperialism on a blog she allegedly wrote in college. Some of her defenders, who call her �Queen Caroline,� are followers of Curtis Yarvin, a neoreactionary political theorist and far right darling. Many of the people who have flocked to Ellison�s defense gather on Urbit, a peer-to-peer platform created by Yarvin, one of her online supporters told Forbes. They think Ellison was set up to be the fall person, and claim that former co-CEO Sam Trabucco, who they derisively call �Sam Tabasco," is behind Alameda�s implosion. Trabucco didn�t respond to multiple requests for comment.

�I definitely think she�s innocent,� one said. �I think Caroline can be saved.�
