On Monday, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder of the failed FTX cryptocurrency exchange, was arrested in the Bahamas. The Bahamian government said in a press release that SBF's arrest "followed receipt of formal notification from the United States that it has filed criminal charges" against Bankman-Fried and will most likely seek to extradite him back to the States.
SBF has been under investigation by the Justice Department in connection with the collapse and November bankruptcy of FTX, his cryptocurrency company once worth $32 billion.
The New York Times reports that prosecutors from the Southern District of New York confirmed the charges. Prosecutors went on to say we can expect an indictment to be made public Tuesday. According to the NYT's sources, SBF faces a laundry list of charges including wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, securities fraud, securities fraud conspiracy, and money laundering.
If this is true then I wasn't a member of that inner circle
(I'm quite sure it's just false; I have never heard of such a group)
News of SBF's arrest came shortly after he responded on Twitter to a report by the Australian Financial Review that a group connected to the leadership of FTX created a Signal chat group called "Wirefraud" which they used to exchange confidential information about the company's operations prior to its implosion. "If this is true then I wasn't a member of that inner circle," Bankman-Fried tweeted at an account linking to the AFR article, adding, "(I'm quite sure it's just false; I have never heard of such a group)."
The Times quoted Damian Williams, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, who said in a statement that "Bahamian authorities arrested Samuel Bankman-Fried at the request of the U.S. government, based on a sealed indictment," and that his office expects "to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time.
FTX's demise began after an early November surge in withdrawal requests revealed a $8 billion hole the company's accounts. SBF asked for help from the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, and it initially looked like Binance might follow through — but once the larger exchange scrutinized FTX's financial situation, the agreement failed to materialize.
Sam Bankman-Fried was scheduled to testify remotely on Tuesday before the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee. It's safe to say that the hearing is likely to be postponed.
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
