Just because SBF is the villain, doesn't mean all of his enemies are suddenly our friends (contrary to the popular saying). The world works on incentives, and bankruptcy lawyers are incentivized to maximize billable hours. While I have no doubt they are doing their job and doing it well, they are almost certainly not doing it in a hurry.


What? In theory, the bankruptcy team are the "good guys" because they are working on behalf of the creditors, not because they are at odds with SBF. SBF is who put SBF in the position of being at odds with customers.


I'm not arguing against you. I'm arguing against the reality that most people struggle to differentiate between shades of gray and down-voted the parent simply because he wasn't unequivocally bashing SBF, and dared to comment on some other complexities of the situation. If SBF tweeted the sky is blue, would you refuse to believe it simply because SBF is a fraud?

The bankruptcy team is working to fix his mess, but they are first and foremost working for an hourly rate.
