In desperate times, we need a hero
John J Ray III has spent 40 years cleaning up America's biggest corporate collapses. He's never seen anything as bad as FTX
The man appointed to administer the collapsed crypto exchange in chapter 11 bankruptcy, who oversaw the clean-up after Enron's collapse, says he has never seen "such a complete failure of corporate controls".

Amazing. Wasn't FTX supposed to be one of the more reputable* crypto exchanges?

Remember when people were legitimately predicting that Bitcoin would replace normal currency for a while there? That was funny.

Hall of Famer
The crypto board still believe that. Don't look up El Salvador, though.
Look, there is room for cryptocurrency and Bitcoin - I don't think it will be extinct any time soon - but let's face it, much of it is a giant Ponzi scheme with elements of 'pump and dump', which many people delude themselves into thinking isn't a modern pyramid scheme. Good for you if you knew to get out at the right time, but I'd hate to be the sucker holding the bag at the end.

"For example, employees of the FTX Group submitted payment requests through an online 'chat' platform where a disparate group of supervisors approved disbursements by responding with personalised emojis.

Unbelievable
There’s tens of thousands of prisoners in the US doing time for often trivial offences whilst guys like this are running around spending money belonging to other people like some sort of bizarre monopoly game
Like other corporate criminals still in charge of the banks that created the GFC he won’t see the inside of a jail cell
You are either laundering money, an idiot, or a pretentious modern art w***er (last two may be synonymous).

'Well, this is awkward': Beer banned at Qatar World Cup stadiums in late backflip
Alcohol will not now be sold at Qatar's World Cup stadiums now in a late U-turn from organisers two days before the tournament kicks off.

lol, FIFA. I suppose they'll get some more oil money for compensation but it won't wash away the stains.

Actually don't think I'm going to watch. Is there a more corrupt organisation than FIFA?

Welcome, strangers, to the show
I'm the one who should be lying low
Saw the knives out, turned my back
Heard the train coming, stayed out on the track
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
Caught the fever, heard the tune
Thought I loved her, hung my heart on the moon
Started howling, made no sense
Thought my friends would rush to my defence
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream
I lost my shirt, I pawned my rings
I've done all the dumb things
And I get all your good advice
It doesn't stop me from going through these things twice
I see the knives out, I turn my back
I hear the train coming, I stay right on that track
In the middle, in the middle, in the middle of a dream

There has never been a more iconic Australian song other Waltzing Matilda.

Should put up a trigger warning before you post that song, it made me irrationally angry
I tried very hard to convince my sister to have this as the first dance at her wedding, or at least the song for as they left the church. But, apparently, I got the sense of humour in the family.
I'm saving it for their 10th anniversary.
Ochre

squashface won't even let me quote that post ffs
