Bank Man Fried

<p>This week saw FTX shrink from $32 billion of value to zero in less than 48 hours. @TheInformation is doing great reporting. It seems the ill-named founder @SBF_FTX - Sam Bankman-Fried - invested hundreds of millions into Sequoia and other funds. The @SECGov failure to provide a regulatory framework for Crypto seems even more silly. But @DavidKirkpatric and @LHSummers provide a thoughtful distraction from the noise.</p> <p><br></p> <h1><strong>Contents</strong></h1> <p><a href="https://thatwastheweek.substack.com/i/83833885/editorial-i-vote-for-change"><strong>Editorial: I Vote For Change</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://thatwastheweek.substack.com/i/83833885/essays-of-the-week-the-end-of-the-internet"><strong>Essays of the Week: The end of the Internet?</strong></a></p> <ul> <li>In Our Own Best Interests - Techonomy - David Kirkpatrick</li> <li>Larry Summers Compares the Surge of Pain in Tech to the Dot-Com Bubble</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://thatwastheweek.substack.com/i/83833885/the-big-ftx-collapse"><strong>The Big FTX Collapse</strong></a></p> <ul> <li>Sam Bankman-Fried’s Late-Night Move and How the FTX House Crumbled</li> <li>FTX’s $2 Billion Startup Fund Ensnared in Collapse</li> <li>FTX’s Bankman-Fried Quietly Invested More than $500 Million in Sequoia and Other VCs — The Information</li> <li>Binance walks away from FTX deal, citing ‘mishandled customer funds,’ regulatory scrutiny</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://thatwastheweek.substack.com/i/83833885/substack"><strong>Substack</strong></a></p> <ul> <li>Introducing Mentions and Cross-Posts</li> <li>The Substack Bestseller Badge</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://thatwastheweek.substack.com/i/83833885/zoom-zooms"><strong>Zoom Zooms</strong></a></p> <ul> <li>Zoom is coming for Microsoft’s territory with email and calendar services</li> <li>Tesla vehicles will soon have Zoom video conferencing</li> </ul> <p><a href="https://thatwastheweek.substack.com/i/83833885/this-week-in-twitter"><strong>This Week in Twitter</strong></a></p> <ul> <l
