🎲 FTX's Billion Dollar Gamble

It's one thing to try buying a car or a house, but how about buying a break from politics?

FTX founder Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried explored the idea of paying Donald Trump a whopping $5 billion, urging him to back away from a presidential run....and who's money did he plan on paying him with??? 🙊It's a shocking revelation from Michael Lewis's latest book, "Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon."Lewis mentioned, “Sam’s thinking that we could pay Donald Trump not to run for president...like how much would it take?”Was Trump's price tag really $5 billion? (or was that an overestimate too? 🤣)We're left guessing, as SBF couldn't clarify if this number hailed directly from Trump himself.Obviously, this grand political gamble never took off.Trump and SBF...and I thought I was bad with money!🤦After FTX's collapse in November 2022, those billions were nowhere to be found. Lewis described the aftermath as reminiscent of Pompeii - a world suddenly halted.

Automobile behemoth Honda seems to be turning a new leaf, embracing cryptocurrency for its transactions.You heard that right; you can now snag that dream Honda using Ripple (XRP) or even meme-inspired Shiba Inu (SHIB), among others.

💀 FTX's Catastrophic Island Escape Plan Unveiled

Turbulent waters continue for the embattled FTX Trading Ltd., as new revelations hint at what seems like the plot of a blockbuster movie.  

The latest lawsuit against the crypto giant and its co-founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, alleges not just financial misdeeds but also an audacious island escape plan!Did SBF actually think he was a James Bond villain? 🦹

FTX Trading, grappling with allegations of enormous fraud, is aggressively attempting to recover millions while shining a light on over $1 billion in sketchy transactions.One shocking revelation? A daring plan hatched by FTX Foundation, the company's nonprofit wing, to buy the island nation of Nauru.The goal? Constructing a bunker to ensure the survival of the "effective altruism" community, a philosophy dear to Bankman-Fried, should global catastrophe strike.SBF and Ellison left to repopulate the planet after a global extinction...Frankly, I'd rather not be around for that! 🤮

But it wasn’t just about survival. The memo cheekily adds that owning a country might have its other advantages.
