I don't see an implication that this person is personally fucked by FTX/Alameda, just mad that fraudsters are rolling in dough (til they get caught anyway, as they say, high risk high reward)


Yes. Exactly. Every day I wake up and I have to hear about some next cunt I've never heard of before. "Richest before 30!". Some other trillionaire. Some other little kid son of ivy's who ran away with another billion. It's always some fucking scam. Every fucking day. What is the point anymore? I'm a regular cunt who wants to do regular cunt things but I have to wake up to news that Google is planning a 30B "tech park" local to me.

Just kill me please.


While watching these people use their privilege to steal so much money is frustrating, I don't see how some Ivey League twenty-something's wrongdoing prevents you from doing regular things.


in aggregate, the spending power of the world’s fraudsters does inflate the cost of many of life’s luxuries to be outside the reach of more and more people.


That one word doesn't translate well across countries. And in the US will come across as misogyny, which will affect how people interpret everything else you said.


That's not a problem as long as people exist outside the US.
