  USA Damian Williams: Earlier this evening, Bahamian authorities arrested Samuel Bankman-Fried at the request of the U.S. Government, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY. We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time.

  Tomorrow, Sam Bankman-Fried was scheduled to testify in front of the House Financial Services Committee. @HouseGOP was ready to grill him six ways to Sunday. Now breaking tonight, SBF was just arrested!🧐 Why not allow him to 1st testify tomorrow and answer our many questions?

  did they arrest SBF today so he wouldn't testify in front of Congress tomorrow, and have to face down leaders of one party calling out the other for taking donations from him? oh my, what a cluster

  Well SBF had told us he may come on the show this week bc he might have something new to share. He does have something new but don't think he's gonna make it.

  SBF arrest timing: 1/ The timing is odd, because you'd think prosecutors would have wanted SBF to testify under oath. Gives them more leverage.

• @wclementeiii Will Clemente on x

  Now that SBF is in custody, time to move on. (while never forgetting) He is not worth the time of day to get any more airtime or mental headspace from any of us. Good riddance, now time to let the justice system do it's job.

• @davidsirota David Sirota on x

  really wild how many elites pretend to be scandalized by SBF who also weren't at all scandalized by Enron fleecing the country or by enormous Wall Street firms cratering the entire global economy and immiserating millions of people for the rest of their lives

  If this is confirmed false we will delete this immediately. We are not trying to engagement farm. We understand the gravity of this claim and take the responsibility seriously.

• @davidhundeyin David Hundeyin on x

  My favourite genre of crypto Twitter is the exchange and token founders queuing up to slam dunk on SBF and call him a criminal and a fraudster (which he is), while they themselves are running the EXACT same ponzi scheme. Biggest advertisement for becoming a bitcoin maxi.
