   BBC: "Everyone got duped by Sam Bankman-Fried's big gamble"

   No, lots of us called crypto out from the very start. I was reading accurate critiques of bitcoin in 2012.

   Journalists and financiers and politicians got duped or didn't care about the truth when there was money to be made.

   Now you're trying to pretend nobody warned you? Get fucked.

     @moh_kohn What does bitcoin have to do with it? That's like saying you were reading accurate critiques of Fedwire long before Bernie Madoff scammed his investors. The two are completely unrelated.

     Also, it was literally bitcoiners who suspected and then uncovered the FTX scam by poking SBF in public debates.

     @moh_kohn BBC journalists probably were duped. You don't get to become a BBC journalist by being smart, you just have to go to the right schools.
