This Week on Unchained: SBF's Arrest and Criminal Charges, Plus Silvergate's Prospects
Laura joins crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Robert Leshner, and Tarun Chitra to chop it up about the charges against Sam Bankman-Fried, SBF’s “ineffective altruism,” why Alameda and FTX lost billions of dollars, and more.
Will the case against Sam Bankman-Fried go to trial? Ari Redbord, head of legal and government affairs at TRM Labs, discusses all the charges against SBF and why the criminal indictment is the most important, how much the case will be delayed if SBF’s lawyers fight the extradition, and much more.
Long or short the stock? Ram Ahluwalia, CEO and cofounder of crypto-native investment advisor Lumida, and Marc Cohodes, individual investor and former hedge fund manager, debate all things Silvergate, the crypto-friendly bank that is currently under scrutiny due to its ties with FTX and Alameda. Both Marc and Ram have a vested interest in Silvergate.
