FTX founder and two senior execs are 'under observation by authorities' holed-up in luxurious Bahamas resort owned by Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake - as they 'plot escape to non-extradition safe haven Dubai'

The founder and former CEO of collapsing crypto trader Sam Bankman-Fried is said to be holed up with members of his inner circle in the Bahamas while his empire collapses around him.

Bankman-Fried, 30, resigned from FTX on Friday, as the crypto exchange filed for bankruptcy and reports emerged that up to $2 billion in client funds had vanished from the company's books in recent weeks.

According to Coin Telegraph, the disgraced former CEO is holed up at the Albany Tower alongside FTX co-founder Gary Wang and the company's director of engineering Nishad Singh.

A different version of "Poof, And It's Gone". How hard would it be to get out of the Bahamas to reach Dubai? If they have enough money left, I would imagine they could bribe some Bahamian bureaucrats. Maybe this is a head fake to get to Argentina. Would be it possible to take a boat to international waters and rendezvous with a yacht to get to Dubai?

Most of the smaller private jets won’t have the legs to get from the Bahamas to Dubai....without stopping. Would have to be a Bahamas to Tunisia or Libya, refuel, and fly on from there. But these private jet owners are going to quote a crazy price....to haul them there.

But after you arrive there....with so many upset people who’ve lost their fortune, I don’t see how you can ensure your safety.

Saw a story that FTX Crypto was in a front company to money launder billions of tax money sent to the Ukraine and funneled back to Democrat political campaigns..Sam Bankman-Fried has pledged up to 1/2 billion to defeat Trump in 2024 and the GOP....Much of “legit” money that FTX handled was from legalized Pot sellers.

I love the name - “Bankman-Fried”. It’s perfect.

The Grifter took the Mark’s money and ran away.

It’s an old story played over and over.

He could be anywhere, right now. Just because some media outlet says he’s in the Bahamas does not make him so.

Having said that, I view him as a disposable easy mark for somebody promising him great wealth if he just does stuff.

$2 billion in client funds had vanished

If one absconds with $2 billion, how do you hide it and where do you put it?

Because of US preeminence in all things economic, the absence of an extradition treaty does not mean automatic protection from non-extradition countries, nor does it mean countries with an extradition treaty with the US will honor it.

Anyone relying on treaties exclusively is a fool.

Well, the timing was for the midterms. The money has been delivered from the fools and crooks to the commie trash DNC. Why stick around?

fortunately I have a local mattress factory so I would just get one custom made for me.
