From Math Camp to Handcuffs: FTX’s Downfall Was an Arc of Brotherhood and Betrayal

Gary Wang and Sam Bankman-Fried are offering dueling accounts of the FTX fiasco and of who’s ultimately to blame.

They’d come a long way together, from teenage mathletes to MIT frat brothers to crypto billionaires.

Gary Wang didn’t reply.

This says Bankman-Fried is toast. How long he actually remains in jail is something we just have to wait on.
