Sam Bankman-Fried, former CEO of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has lost his company, his assets and his credibility, but he’s not shying away from the limelight.
On his Twitter account, he sent the string “What HAPPENED” over the course of 24 hours. The first post on the 14th was “What,” but within a little over 24 hours she added one capital letter at a time.
Bankman-Fried concludes by saying, “NOT LEGAL ADVICE. NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE. THAT’S ALL I REMEMBER. FINANCIAL ADVICE. THAT’S ALL I REMEMBER, BUT MY MEMORY MAY BE FAULTY IN PARTS.”
The strange strings have sparked heated debate and considerable outrage. Users are wildly speculating about what happens next.
“It’s not a word. I think about it as I write,” Bankman-Fried said in an interview with The New York Times shortly after her second post. When asked if she was planning a series of cryptic tweets, she replied, “Something like that.”
One Twitter user called it “nonsense but provocative”. Another tweeted: “This is not a game for many people. Most of this industry may be a scam, but not all. You have eroded trust in the industry and the world.”
Bankman-Fried lost about $16 billion in assets in just a few days.
