What's really funny is that SBF is well known in the crypto space, but the way he made his first fortune had nothing to do with crypto at all.

It's complete bullshit, you lose nothing by completely ignoring it.

But, if you want to be amused and/or outraged by the bullshit, Wired had a good article about it recently:
