Would you even need to take anonymization steps for this as another commenter has suggested (fake/stolen KYC and anonymized collateral)?

It seems to me that whomever was making these trades knew (suspected/or had actual inside operational information-but possibly from prior trades) that Alameda would buy the position and he would not be liable for the subsequent deflation of price.

If you knew that Alameda were going to backstop at 1% under the market price, this seems like an obvious trade to make. But how would you know that Alameda were going to do that without inside information?

How would that work? He would still be liable for the full amount and the cost of servicing the margin loan. Or are you suggesting the bankruptcy proceedings will settle for a lower figure?

My thoughts also... can this be bigger than FTX?

Can iOS/Android apps be updated without 3rd party approval?

1. Who is transferring the funds?

a. Bankman-Fried and associates

b. insiders (disgruntled)

c. outsiders (hackers)

2. Is it plausible that the transferred funds be laundered?

3. Can this altruism get any more effective?

This story is utterly fascinating. It keeps getting better and better. I remember thinking Mt. Gox was wild. This fraud is second only to Ponzi.

I may have missed it-but where is the source/evidence that some(all) this fraud is under SEC's jurisdiction?

I agree, it reflects VERY poorly on Jane Street.

They like to give the impression they hire Ultra Mega Geniuses who have done the IMO (who cares if you did the IMO at age 17...?)

That's an interesting take. Probably wouldn't happen though, the argument being that illegal dreams taking place in the metaverse would contagiously spread to the unmetaverse.

But how, if you had spent time being a market maker, that is to say you understand market neutral strategies, would you convince yourself to take this bet? It seems contrary to his presumed understanding of the markets.

I guess the lawsuits are being prepared by affected parties as we speak.
