You are going to have people with different opinions saying different things, and sooner of later some of them will be wrong, and some will be right and we'll all be better off for having heard the arguments. But to try and pretend there hasn't been media critical of crypto is just deliberately ignoring the facts. How could we have seen this coming? Maybe listen to the Bloomberg podcast where SBF genuinely just outright states they're creating ponzi schemes back in April. But what did you want? Bloomberg to storm the offices of FTX and drag SBF off in cuffs?
The core of what happened at FTX was that SBF ran an unregulated exchange- that's a matter for the government and regulators. Not the press. Ocassionally talented investigative reporters uncover a fraud- and often it'll be the most impressive story of their lifetimes. But it's not a reasonable standard to blame them for every one that blows up before they catch it.
