Tom’s In Bündches of Trouble
Remember way back when Tom skipped out on two weeks of training for ’personal issues’ when he went to spend time with his kids? Apparently, he went to the Bahamas where FTX is based.
Then Gisele dumped him like a sack of rotten rutabagas. And his football days appear to be numbered. Then FTX crashed. And now he and the exmissus have parted ways. And both are defendants in a biggest heist in history. Now I have been wrong with math because I hardly ever get 4 as the sum of two and two… Last edited by Crowbob; 11-20-2022 at 07:12 PM.. |

Even better make an announcement that in no way will the Fed gov't offer any assistance related to crypto investments, crimes, theft, regulation, etc.

^^^^ Correct, too bad so sad for those. They tried to find lightning in a bottle. Did not work. Maybe they should not have risked as much capital as some of them did..... is what it is. You took you chances, and they did work out... Not the taxpayer's problem to solve for you....

I feel sorry for all the scammers, drug dealers, money launderers, international crim's. They had all their money in crypto.

I play in the crypto sphere with play money, 6 figure play money, have had my azz handed to me, but still up overall. Been in it since 17. Also, my real estate portfolio is up 7 figures, brokerage account not doing too bad either, 7 figure residence paid for. Think I will keep playing. |

IMO the concept of crypto currencies is at a minimum globalism and at worst treason.
I am shaking my head and enjoying the show.

Well in the end i don’t think we really need to worry about Tom. He’ll be just fine.

I wonder how much Tom had invested in FTX. Hopefully not all his fortune. I heard $650M, is that correct? Either way, it is always dumb to put all your eggs in one basket.

Not really touched upon in this thread yet, but I wonder about the lawsuits/investigations/attempts to hold the celebrity spokespeople (like Tom & Gisele) responsible for this mess. They (Tom/Gisele/etc) are just hired talking heads. They're not actually masterminding the house of cards. Why are they being investigated as part of the fraud?
Are they somehow expected to do their due diligence (as what, athletes/models/actors?) sussing out the business plans of these companies they're hired to endorse? How are they liable for the failings of FTX any more than the cameramen filming the commercials or the TV stations airing them?
