    Proud to work with the great @retheauditors on this dive into #FTX's "audited" accounts. 160 companies! Two auditors with troubling track records! Self-dealing with related parties! No taxes paid! It was all there, but nobody noticed, or cared. coindesk.com/layer2/2022/11…

    We @CoinDesk felt like it was an appropriate time to take a stand for crypto and its potential. It’s clear at this stage that government agencies are engaged in a full bore effort to kneecap innovation while offering no clear path forward for good actors. This is unfair to many.
    The U.S. crypto crackdown is – rightly or wrongly – viewed as a coordinated attempt to maim digital assets. This risks sending a vital industry overseas, @KReyofCoinDesk writes in a rare CoinDesk editorial. Opinion. trib.al/IygAph8

    Last week, @YouTube took down @CoinDesk's new TV content and we could got a sharp taste of unaccountable centralized power. A lot of what's wrong with the internet doesn't make sense until it happens to you. coindesk.com/youtube-suspen…

    Exciting news from the @CoinDesk opinion section: @davidzmorris is joining us today as Chief Insights Columnist. David, who comes from Fortune (and BREAKER), has written on crypto for 8+ years and brings a lot of depth and perspective. Looking forward to working with him again.

    Very important point about the whole FTX debacle... it wasn't a "bank run" (as the NYT said) or a hedge fund gone bad (several others). There was a clear malfeasance at play. Let @davidzmorris explain, as only he can.
    FTX wasn’t just mismanaged. At the heart of its collapse was a series of acts likely criminal in nature, CoinDesk's Chief Insights Columnist @DavidZMorris writes. Opinion. trib.al/FcRCBt5

    Bumper show this week! We debated if Russia could ban crypto, whether IP theft is out of control with NFTs (thanks ⁦@SamEwen⁩ for coming on) and whether ⁦@VitalikButerin⁩’s support for mechanical wombs is good for women or just gross. Tune in.
