SBF’s Cellblock Confessions: FTX Bankruptcy “Shadier Than a Backroom Deal”

by

Sam Bankman-Fried, the once-untouchable golden boy now sipping institutional coffee behind bars, stirred his latest tempest on X this week. From his 25-year prison suite, he quoted a certain “Mr. Purple”-a bankruptcy bard and DJ who claims FTX’s collapse reads like a Shakespearean farce written by a drunk scriptwriter. The gist? It’s the “shadiest” bankruptcy since Noah forgot to charge admission.

The creditors, those poor souls clutching their remaining dollars like a lifeline, have watched $10 billion trickle back like molasses through a sieve. Bankman-Fried, ever the humble host, shared this update via proxy, as if he’s still the guest of honor at his own financial funeral. Meanwhile, legal fees have ballooned into a sum so large, even Wall Street’s stopped counting.

“FTX is the shadiest bankruptcy I have ever witnessed.” – @MrPurple_DJ

“A man who’s spent three years documenting this mess like it’s his Netflix series. And he’s got the follow-through of a man who’s mastered the art of the reply-all.”

Mr. Purple, real name Kyle (though who’s calling?), has become the accidental hero of this saga, offering updates with the clarity of a desert map and the frequency of a bad dream. Creditors await the next payout like starving men at a feast where the chef keeps arguing over the recipe.

In a twist that makes you question every truth you’ve ever known, Bankman-Fried recently claimed FTX “was never bankrupt,” a statement so bold it could only come from someone who’s already lost everything. The IRS, ever the party pooper, settled for $885 million in June 2024-a pittance, really, when you consider the scale of the chaos. But Mr. Purple, that relentless truth-teller, insists the plan still reads like a riddle wrapped in a mystery.

And so the tale lingers, a modern parable of hubris and hubris, where the only thing more broken than the system is the man who broke it. The moral? Never trust a man who thinks bankruptcy is just a phase.
