When a Twenty-Something in Flip-Flops Controls Billions
A disheveled figure sits barefoot in a Bahamian penthouse, worth $20 billion on paper, casually discussing how he plans to give it all away. This wasn't some eccentric hermit-this was Sam Bankman-Fried in February 2022, when cryptocurrencies commanded a $2 trillion market. The irony? While being interviewed as crypto's boy genius, he was secretly orchestrating one of history's most audacious frauds. When confronted about suspicions that crypto might be largely fraudulent, his response now reads like a confession hidden in plain sight: "It's like the narrative would be way sexier if it was like, 'Holy shit, this is the world's biggest Ponzi scheme,' right?" Within months, that sexy narrative became reality. The bubble burst, $2 trillion evaporated, and millions discovered their savings had vanished into digital smoke.
