Is it weird that the “bankruptcy CEO” is talking quite a lot of sh$t about the company and SBF, or this just normal operating procedure under these sorts of circumstances and trying to be totally transparent etc etc?

Is reporting on the findings considered "talking quite a lot of sh$t"?

Well I guess not, but a statement like “the company engaged in ‘old-fashioned embezzlement’” seems like a little more colored than a vanilla reporting of the findings. This seems like more of a prosecutorial statement.

I guess these bankruptcy “CEOs” are essentially agents of the Justice Dept/govt in any case, though? In that light these sorts of statements make more sense.

It's not real "old-fashioned" embezzlement without some good rye whiskey

He was countering the argument that it was sophsticated like Enron: they didnt cook the books to appear healthy, they just took money from the company accounts to buy houses, with no records.

Zero sophistication, plain old emblezzlement.

They guy dealt with Enron so I would expect this kind of attitude after all the shit he has seen.
