This Famous Billionaire Investor Defends FTX’s SBF, Deletes Tweet Instantly

In an almost instantly deleted tweet, billionaire investor Bill Ackman “gave credit” to former CEO Sam Bankman Fried of now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX.  He lauded for his “accountability,” and said that he had “never before seen a CEO take responsibility as he does here.”

Bill deleted the tweet in minutes — but Sam Bankman-Fried was quick enough to reply that he’s going to “keep fighting, as best as he can, for users.” Not long after SBF’s reply, many Twitteratis started attacking Ackman, which finally made him hit the delete button.
