I still can't reconcile how fast this happened. Back in April SBF was willing to give billions to buy Twitter. It seemed like there was plenty of surplus or was the money he planned to invest just FTX customer holdings?

"Musk responded to the text by asking if Bankman-Fried had “huge amounts of money?” MacAskill said SBF was worth about US$24 billion at the time and could be willing to provide as much as US$8 billion to US$15 billion in financing." [1]
