Where Did FTX's Funds Go? Sam Bankman Fried Reveals All
Sam Bankman- Fried's quant trading firm was able to use customer funds from his exchange FTX in a way that flew under the radar of investors, employees, and auditors. They did so by using billions from FTX users without their knowledge.
The crypto exchange drastically underestimated the amount FTX needed to keep on hand if someone wanted to cash out, Regulators require trading platforms to keep enough money on hand to match what customers deposit. They require the same, if not more, cushion if a user borrows money to make a trade. FTX did not have nearly enough stock.
During the 2022 midterm elections, Bankman-Fried made $40 million in political contributions, making him the second largest disclosed donor to Democratic causes.
He donated $6 million to the House Majority PAC, which is the main outside group that supports House Democrats. He also gave the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee $250,000 and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee $66,500.
The majority of his political contributions — $27 million — went to the "Protect Our Future PAC," which advocates for pandemic preparedness.

The Herd Mentality and its IMPACT on your Investment Decisions
experiencing a loss over a short-term shouldn’t be your concern, rather you should focus on long-term returns. If you are confident about a company’s long-term growth and your research, then continue your investment, it is ok to go against the herd and be a lone ranger. For a long-term successor, it’s natural to want to stick together for safety. If you want to beat the market, then be confident about your research and go your own way. This may look silly to many people. It takes a while for the market to catch on.

The Evil Side of the Stock Market: Why You're Losing Money (Wall Street Secrets)
it is not because the stock market is rigged against you. The stock market is not rigged against the average investor. There are laws and governing bodies in place to level the playing field for ordinary investors. The Securities and Exchange Commission's mission is to protect investors while also ensuring fair, orderly, and efficient markets.
The cost of market manipulation to regular investors is in the billions of dollars and the SEC is always on the lookout for unfair trading practices, but skilled stock market manipulators use deceptive tactics and may go years without being discovered. Wall Street has only one goal, to make insiders superrich, and shareholders rich. The public interest and the rest of the world are never part of their wealth.
The stock market is also filled with conflicts of interest. For example, investment banks often offer lucrative underwriting fees to companies they are covering while simultaneously promoting those same companies’ stocks to investors. Such conflicts of interest can lead to biased advice, which puts the average investor at a disadvantage. Furthermore, high-frequency traders can gain an edge over retail investors by gaining access to data ahead of the market. This allows them to make more informed decisions about their trades and reap greater profits from their investments.

The Wolf of Crypto (SBF) Sam Bankman Fried: The FTX Collapse
Sam Bankman-Fried, was arrested for "financial offences" against laws in the US and The Bahamas. According to a court filing, FTX owed its 50 largest creditors almost $3.1bn. Among the most serious allegations against Mr Bankman-Fried is that he used billions of dollars of customer funds to prop up his investment trading company, Alameda.
The man who was once compared to titans of finance like John Pierpont Morgan and Warren Buffett. He was the king of crypto, or more like the wolf of crypto
The saga kicked off on Nov. 2, after a leaked balance sheet from Alameda listed $3.66 billion in "unlocked FTT," referring to the token of crypto exchange FTX, as well as $2.16 billion worth of FTT collateral. The leaked balance sheet showed a total of $14.6 billion in assets and some $8 billion in liabilities, which include $7.4 billion worth of loans.
Alameda had borrowed from other crypto companies using this pile of FTX-Alameda loyalty card points. It had the FTT because FTX had needed to bail out Alameda after the collapse of Terra-Luna, and sent over its own made-up FTT tokens, claiming these were assets of value.
