Similar feeling to when SBF went bust. Even though I'm heavily involved in the bitcoin space, I barely knew anything about him other than vague praise of his effective altruism ideals and more pro-crypto/anti-bitcoin stance and that he ran a seedy, off shore exchange. Only afterwards did a lot of the people I actually do follow and respect resurface their old criticisms of SBF, e.g. Jack Mallers in June, https://twitter.com/jackmallers/status/1536834021354786823
It's nice to get some confirmation that the people I follow and give attention to are worthy of it. TBD if that continues.

Somehow it vaguely reminds me of old timey snake oil sales copy. Things never really change.
I tried a handful of times to short his pumps right at the rug pull, but almost every single time, I lost my position due to a short squeeze.
I ended up losing around $10k, had I been able to hold my positions (more cash in my margin account basically), they would be HUGE wins, because almost every stock he pumped went to near $0 within a few weeks/months. But the poor people who kept the squeezes alive lost so much more when the bottom fell out.
