bit early to speculate on thisWe’ve seen the balance sheet. The facts have been on the table for FTX as much as they are for Tether.
I can’t say when they will fail. But as soon as we saw the Alameda books and Alameda and FTX’s responses (the former, an irrelevant statement about other assets; the latter, a claim of solvency without proof), the endpoint was sealed. Insolvent, leveraged entities don’t pay out junior creditors absent a bail-out.
