Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has been talking a lot more since his exchange collapsed a few weeks ago, as he’s spoken at the New York Times Dealbook Summit, sat down with Good Morning America host George Stephanopoulos, and recently conducted an interview with New York Magazine. While doing all of these interviews, SBF has revealed very little and crypto supporters believe SBF is being portrayed as the “boy next door” who simply made a bad mistake, and people are wondering why the FTX co-founder is being treated so delicately.
Crypto Community Believes SBF’s Media Tour Is Simply Meant to ‘Clean up His Image,’ Portray Him as the ‘Boy Next Door’ Who Made a Mistake
While Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has talked to the New York Times contributor Andrew Ross Sorkin, Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos, and New York Magazine’s Jen Wieczner, the crypto community still has a lot of unanswered questions. For instance, during his Dealbook conversation, SBF insisted he “didn’t knowingly co-mingle funds.” SBF apologized to an audience question when they asked why SBF decided to steal their life savings. “I’m deeply sorry about what happened,” SBF explained at the Dealbook event.
Watch Mainstream Media closely and you’ll see who’s been paid off to make sure that #SBF has a super clean image.

SBF: on Good Morning America: “I did not know that there is any improper, huh, use of customer funds.”
Better be seen as a clueless, ineffective CEO for the rest of your life than risking prison, amirite?

“A few months ago, a Bahamian man was sentenced to 2 years in prison for stealing $6 worth of hotdogs,” one individual tweeted. “SBF is a con man who stole billions of dollars from millions of customers in a historical fraud. He is currently on a corporate media tour, receiving sympathy, praise, [and] applause.”
A man who stole $10B, @SBF_FTX just got interviewed, portrayed almost as a victim and got an applause at the end
Still free and fine.
