Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has finally broken his silence to start a conversation regarding ‘where we are today.’ Following a series of cryptic tweets spelled out ‘What happened,’ SBF has now sent a tweet stating that he will “get to what happened, But for now, let’s talk about where we are today.”
11) I'll get to what happened. But for now, let's talk about where we are today.

As of press time, no more information has been released. This article will be updated as more information comes to light. However, to follow the saga directly, click on the tweet above to view SBF’s main Twitter account under the handle @SBF_FTX.
The account still contains a biography section that includes “CEO of @FTX_Official Not investment advice. FTX and FTT are not available in the United States or prohibited jurisdictions FTX.US works in US!”
SBF was removed as CEO of FTX by the board on Nov. 11 and replaced by John Ray III when the company filed for bankruptcy.
Update 6.50 GMT: SBF followed up on the tweet to claim that Alameda has more assets than liabilities but said assets are not currently “liquid.” Further, Alameda was margin called on the FTX.com exchange, and FTX.US had “enough to replay all customers.”
Interestingly, he ended the tweet by stating that “not everyone necessarily agrees with this.” Given the factual nature of accounting, it is difficult to understand SBF’s meaning here. It is unclear how such information could be debatable indicating there may be issues regarding how the assets are split between FTX-owned companies or some other factor that would make accounting for assets difficult.
12) To the best of my knowledge, as of post-11/7, with the potential for errors:
a) Alameda had more assets than liabilities M2M (but not liquid!)
b) Alameda had margin position on FTX Intl
c) FTX US had enough to repay all customersNot everyone necessarily agrees with this
