The NYT interview confirmed nothing. People who argue that the NYT piece confirmed anything simply do not understand journalism. That was an interview-based piece that gave SBF a lot of room to talk. The *same* reporter published this piece today, based on Ray's court filing:
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/17/business/ftx-bankruptcy.h...
And I quote:
> "John Jay Ray III helped manage the aftermath of some of the largest corporate failures in history, including the implosion of the energy trading firm Enron after an accounting fraud scandal in 2001.
> But the corporate dysfunction at FTX, the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange that he took over last week, is the worst he has ever seen.
> In a blistering court filing on Thursday, Mr. Ray described an astonishing level of disarray and said he had never seen “such a complete failure of corporate control.” He listed a series of “unacceptable management practices,” including the use of an unsecured group email to access sensitive data, and said the financial information maintained by FTX was deeply untrustworthy.
> “From compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated and potentially compromised individuals, this situation is unprecedented,” he wrote in the filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware."
The evidence against SBF is damning. The NYT will continue to report that. You can cherrypick their pieces if you want to.
But what you should be doing is looking at the 10,000 ways that crypto made SBF and FTX what they were, through your credulity and greed. The NYT had nothing to do with that.
