Clearly a hoax or an inside job, nobody loses that much money without noticing, this might go down in history as the Gox scheme.
Wouldn't be the first time a bunch of high-profile investors got bilked.
Funny how this person constantly accuse someone for being illegal or fraudulent why commiting biggest heist in history.
hmm is this effective altruism, seems like they used it to cover massive fraud.
Seems relevant to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36665247.My understanding is they worked together? I may be mixing up other names.At any rate, kind of crazy to see the levels of fraud that are coming out. Would love to know there was some systemic cause, but expecting not.
Afaik, there were actual massive frauds going on.
Not to be nitpicking, but Charles Ponzi and Madoff did fraud at global scale.
The reason of $42 billion borderline fraud with red flags all over is not newsworthy?
If the guy was auditing Enron or Madoff, that explains a lot ....
Shkreli got in trouble for lying to his investors about losses in his hedge fund. He paid them back later, but to the feds that was a little like robbing a bank, then winning the lottery a few years later and deciding to give the bank its money back.
