and then call the ATF and thank them for the good idea.
Because it's the Bureau of Alcohol,
tobacco and fire.
Oh, they're gonna get, they're gonna drink smoke cigars

Great Drew Carey pull.
Thanks, man.
Sound off in the comments if you're a Drew Carey showhead.
Sound off in the comments if you like my haircut.
We'll do a moment of silence.
Okay.
What the fuck? What the fuck?
What the fuck?

Can we do a moment of silence we've been there, okay also I I want to apologize to oh man I got the worst worse a little hang there. Oh, stay here.
Oh, stay here.
Oh, this is a voiceman, real life.
Yep.
Who are you going to apologize?
I was going to apologize to, I let a lot of cameos expire.
And I'm very sorry.
I had a bad week and I wasn't, I just let him, I forgot that they were even there and
I just, every day, I kept getting emails, came over, asked you had expired and I was like,
fuck, and then another and another and another and yeah.
So he'll get to them.
I tell you.
You can't because once they expire, they can't do it. So maybe I need they then
deactivated my account because I was getting too many in a row. And it's it means nothing.
All you have doing something. Well, because they don't want people to keep requesting only
to get denied. So they just deactivate it and they say, Hey, when you're ready to come back,
yeah, go ahead and you can react. They activated mine. Oh, that's great.
But I forgot to, I keep forgetting,
they said you just have to do a intro video
and go like, I'm here.
That's the script.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
And so I keep forgetting to do it.
I'll do it though.
And then you guys can do whatever you do.
Oh, people will pay you to say the dumbest shit.
Happy birthday, Emily. Get the fuck. Now it's fun to do. Oh, people will pay you to say the dumbest shit. Happy birthday, Emily.
Get the fuck.
No, it's fun to do.
I really like doing it.
We'll see, we'll see.
I'm gonna stop myself before I over share.
Cause, you know, this is like,
the people out there are like some kind of,
they're like a distant family
that I never see or talk to, but they,
No, you talk to them. I talk to them.
They don't talk to them.
I talk to them.
They don't talk to you.
Yeah, but.
Or sometimes they do through weird DMs that make you feel like, do they like me or do
they want to kill me?
Yeah.
And I don't want to, I don't want to come on here and pretend like I'm in the best place
because I'm not.
And that's okay.
And I'm saying that to set an example that it's okay.
Sorry, I know you're over there like, dude, don't do it.
Don't worry, I'm not gonna cry or nothing.
That you know, but no, I'm not.
But yeah, so that's why I haven't done any cameos.
So, and I wanted to fill you guys in on that
so that you know that.
Okay, that's enough of that.
Okay, there was, let's just go right into crypto.
No, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so we are going to go into crypto corner.

So everyone knows there's some very real stuff going on with crypto right now.
We're going to get to SPF.
We're going to get to, you know, the NFT
shillers getting sued, all this stuff.
And that's all very heavy.
I, and because, you know, you're maybe not going through
the greatest time, I have a little surprise for you.

Good.
This is...
Also, Quick question, can I buy on $99?
Sure.
What for?
Nothing.
Wait, wait, let's see.
Let's read the line.
Also, a lot of people are saying that with the SPF thing and the way crypto is going that
crypto is dead and I'd like to say that
Crypto is clearly not dead. Okay. No, it's not Trump has revived it
Trump has saved it
Let's see what is there anything down there that's total ARV of all prizes 54,695 dollars. That's what they
That's the so kind of under selling himself. I mean, there's that you can get a dinner with Trump You tell me that's worth that's worth a some kind of under selling himself. I mean, you can get a dinner with Trump.
You tell me, that's worth a million dollars to me.
I would pay a million dollars to have dinner with Trump.
That was incredible.
I really wish that he was less of a shitty guy
so that this would be just something
that everyone could enjoy.
You know what I think?
There's a lot of people who will enjoy it
in a different way.
Right.
There's gonna be a lot of people who buy these, I think.
Yeah.
I just, also, why didn't he add a little bit?
His whole thing is just going off the cuff.
Because he probably doesn't understand what they are.
So that's what, if you'll notice, they made it so that it's digestible,
much like applesauce for old people. they call them I think that digital trading cards
Yeah, yeah easier. He said NFT once. Yeah, and then it was just digital
Donald Trump trading cards. I love when he when he says and they will
Security checks here. Yeah, I love when he said
They're they'll sell out. They're gonna go fast and they will be gone and then he goes
Like holy of it
And for the audio listener there's some real beauty so you get him riding on a
elephant
Signalling the G-O-P. Yeah, and it's red, white and blue. And Trump is on top of pumping his fists with a fist.
It's really amazing.
His red tie is blowing in the wind.
Really beautiful stuff.
I miss him.
So I just thought we could start off on a lighter note before we get into the heaviness.
Yeah.
Just speaking of SBF, I wonder if the New York Post, because you know there are the daily new did you see the new york post headline
no
uh... what did they call it did they make an spf joke
no no because that's what i was going to say they should do it they called them
h a i r y harry
fuck i can't remember what it was
sbf they called him here is a harry it was a harF, they called him Harry. It was a Harry Potter pun. Can we?
Harry plotter. I'm looking. It might be that. I don't know. But and they've
just, they use the worst picture of them. When, when he gets his sentence handed
down and it's however many years, let's say it's 90. I imagine their headline would be SBF 90 and it's like him Photoshopped on a,
on a bottle of copper tone.
That's what I would push.
I like that people call him scam,
Bankman fraud.
You heard that?
No, that's great.
Scam, Bank, fraud. All right. So anyway, for those of you who are living under a rock, that's pretty great. Scam Bankman fraud.
All right, so anyway, for those of you who are living under a rock,
what's the bugs like under there?
I always make that joke.
Yeah, I'm glad for it.
Yeah, but I need humor.
But so go on.
Okay.
Go on.
Scam Bankman fraud.
Scam Bankman fraud scam bankman fraud
aka spf aka sandbankman freed aka the golden boy of crypto has been arrested in the Bahamas in the Bahamas
He's got there's
Do you think Bahamian police sirens are here? We got steel drums
Really good that's what here we go, steel drums. Steel drums. Really good.
That's what those are called, right?
Steel drums.
You hear the police siren and it's br cases, and then criminal charges from the DOJ
through the Southern District of New York.
And the criminal charges, it's wild.
There's eight counts, including conspiracy to commit wire fraud on customers, wire fraud
on customers, conspiracy to commit wire fraud on lenders,
wire fraud on lenders, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud,
conspiracy to commit securities fraud,
conspiracy to commit money laundering.
And this one, conspiracy to defraud the United States
and violate the campaign finance laws.
Ooh, getting this motherfucker on everything.
Yeah, and he faces what 115 years.
I don't know how the total charges could amount to that.
He won't get that much, but you know, thanks, though.
It seems like they want to throw the book out.
Conspiracy to get a haircut is tacked on there too.
Not get a haircut.
He's there.
He got right, right, right.
Oh, Harry fraudster or Harry fuck I can't remember.
Harry fraudster sounds right. I can't Harry fraudster sounds right.
It doesn't matter.
Damn.
But it feels very good to see this.
It's been so frustrating to watch this dude
just do so many interviews and just go,
I don't know how this happened.
I just, I can't believe I just,
I tripped and fell and some people's things.
I don't know why we labeled the accounts like that.
This was also crazy.
Yeah.
Even as fucking parents, they chanted, they were like,
you know, we have no idea how our names ended up on those houses
in the Bahamas.
And we all just have to pretend like these were the stupidest people
in the fucking world.
Their parents, I mean, his parents are
Stanford law professors.
And they're just like, that's so crazy.
It's as we own the house.
That's looking great.
What?
Wait, how's it spelled?
Yeah.
And the more that comes out,
the crazier this has been, right?
I mean, we're all just supposed to pretend
this guy had no idea what he was doing.
Apparently his dad, there was a Wall Street Journal
article about how his lawyer parents were kind of, you know, playing a role in this situation
from the beginning. He was there for a lot of meetings with regulators and, you know,
this is going to be really bad for SBF. I just wonder if the politicians who collectively received $40 million in political donations
from him are going to have the spine to carry out, to carry, go on with prosecuting him to
the bullies' extent of the law.
But yeah, because I was just, he's useless to them.
Well, yeah, that's exactly what I was just going gonna follow up with is he's utterly useless to them.
He, I was reading other,
there's so many headlines about him.
It's hard to keep up,
but there was one where he said he hopes to start a new company
so that he could earn back everything that he owes people.
Like, yeah, cool dude, yeah, that'll work.
I think that's gonna,
I think he's gonna have a hard time with that
if the SEC or the CFTC are successful in their suits
because I imagine they'll be seeking injunctive relief
to make sure he has to stay away from people's money
for a very long time.
What's injunctive relief?
Like prohibiting you from doing something.
Doing it again.
Yeah.
Did you see Kevin O'Leary testified
and blamed the fall of FTX on Binon?
Well, that's what's nice about this, you know, reading these complaints.
I found the SEC complaint, you know, the most illuminating there, but also the indictment from
the DOJ, you know, they're saying that this was going on since 2019, right?
And from what SBF has been saying, it's a lot of, oh, it just, you know, everything kind
of went bad when the balance sheets got leaked and we were having a little bit of trouble,
but they're alleging that from the beginning, he was a fraudster.
You know what I mean?
His whole-
Wow.
Yeah, that's quite the allegation.
I mean, but that's the thing.
When it first, when it first started, it's this big confusing thing.
It's crypto.
You don't know what's going on.
You're like, what the fuck is FTT coin?
And there's all these acronyms.
You're not sure what they are.
But it's really just, it's not that complicated.
It's a tale is old this time, right?
He got everyone to believe that he could make them rich
and trust him.
They gave him all his funds.
He started appropriating those funds for whatever he wanted,
for his personal gain, by property, by influence, right?
He was using customer funds to end directing them
towards politicians on both sides of the aisle,
starting foundations in his name for things
that he wanted to accomplish.
You got a hand at him.
All of that crime is hard to achieve.
Is it? Yeah.
Let's see you go and build a frog that that size.
I'm on the face.
I don't think I got it in me.
Yeah, me either.
Not only because morally, but I don't have the technical prowess
or the neurodivergence necessary to achieve that.
I think it starts with two Stanford law professors. or the neurodivergence necessary to achieve that.
I think it starts with two Stanford law professors. You think his parents helped him out?
I feel like what part...
I think he had access to a lot of things probably.
I think he probably approached his parents
with an idea about crypto,
and they didn't fully understand it.
They were just like,
our son is very, very smart and sure
and just kind of gave him guidance not fully.
Because crypto, the whole space is still very much
the Wild West and I feel like they probably just,
I don't know, once you start seeing gold
or whatever the fuck the expression is.
I would be worried if I was his parents.
I'd be worried if I was anyone near him.
It sounds like so right now we just have his charges. I mean who knows who else is going to get in
trouble, right? It wasn't just him doing all these things. But I mean we're going to see just how
much I mean because that's the thing right how like his line the whole time has been you know I
had no idea what was going on at Alameda Research.
I was the founder, but I moved away from that.
My whole focus was FTX, you know.
I also think Caroline Ellison has probably been, did you see that picture of her?
Someone posted it on Twitter.
It was maybe a week or two ago.
She was at the coffee shop in New York.
And someone Google Mapsed where she was.
And it was just kind of a short walk
from the courthouse downtown.
Where they, and they're suggesting something?
They were suggesting that she's talking.
Ah, and she stopped to go get a coffee.
Yeah.
Excuse me while I put in, I, folks, audio listener,
I've got something in my left eye
that is absolutely driving me insane
because every couple of minutes it'll be like
Ah, so I gotta apply eyedrops. Should we should we read the juiciest parts of the SEC complaint?
Sure, let's pull it up. I have a
It's quite long obviously, but there are some
Well, that's gonna be all right. Let's see what we got what we got here. As a result, there was no meaningful distinction between FTX customer funds and Alameda's own
funds.
Bankpin Freed thus gave Alameda cart blanche to use FTX customer assets for its own trading
operations and for whatever other purposes, Bankpin Freed saw fit.
In essence, Bankpin Freed placed billions of dollars of FTX customer funds into Alameda.
He then used Alameda as
his personal piggy bank to buy luxury condominiums, support political campaigns, and make private
investments among other uses. None of this was disclosed to FTX equity investors or the
platform's trading customers. Now, do you think why he doesn't seem, I thought that he
was the benevolent billionaire. Like, why would he have any desire to buy luxury condos,
or was it just a way of...
Well, remember we were reading those Vox things
and he kinda said that was all front anyway?
So he did actually care.
I don't know if he had huge aspirations for material wealth
or Lamborghini's and that kind of thing,
but I don't think he
truly wanted to just give away all his money the way he said he did. Yeah, so you know,
here's some more Alameda did not segregate these customer funds, but instead
commingled them with its other assets and used them to indiscriminately to fund
its trading operations and Bankpin freeds other ventures. This multi-billion dollar liability
was reflected in an internet account internal
internal account in the FTX database that was not tied to Alameda but was instead called
fihot at fx.com. Characterizing the amount of customer funds sent to Alameda as an internal
FTX account had the effect of concealing Alameda's liability and FTX's internal systems.
Incredibly balanced sheets that Alameda provided
to its third party lenders, Alameda tracked this liability
as a loan, but did not specify that the loan was from FTX.
Instead, Alameda combined this liability
with loans that it received from third party lenders.
So they were trying to conceal the money
that they received from FTX by lumping it together
with all these other legitimate
loans from third party lenders.
Inta de Santhe.
And now since all this has been going on, he's been saying I couldn't have committed
fraud.
I had no idea what any of this was.
I just thought it was one big bag of money that I could use.
Yeah.
How could I know?
This chunk here, wait, can I scroll up just a little bit please?
In addition to receiving cash deposits directly from FTX
customers, Alameda benefited from undisclosed features of the
FTX platform, which allowed it to divert FTX customer assets.
For example, negative balance, Alameda was able to maintain a
negative balance in its customer account at FTX, Bankman Free
directed software code to be written in or around August
2019 and updated in or around May, 2020, that ultimately allowed Alameda to maintain a negative balance
in his account untethered from any collateral requirements.
Jesus Christ.
No other customer account at FTX was permitted to maintain a negative balance.
Interesting.
So he was just like, yeah, sure, you can go negative,
even though it's... And this is, this is August 2019, right? So he's acting like this was just,
oh my God, I don't know, we just kind of lost $8 billion. Yeah. At Bankman Freed's direction,
Alameda's line of credit was continually raised to the point where it grew to tens of billions of
dollars and effectively became limitless.
No other FDX customer had a similar line of credit.
She's bullshit.
Do you think that during this time he's sitting there with his curly hair going, oh shit,
oh fuck, oh fuck, shit, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Caroline, what are you doing over there?
Like because she's just losing billions of dollars.
I don't know, I think he thought he would be able to get it back.
They were too busy sucking and fucking each other.
They were too busy fucking in the polygons.
I wonder if that's gonna be part of his defense.
Here's his defense.
Is, is, is, well, you know, I was too, too busy.
Fucking, that's fucking in second.
Excuse me.
Um, well, fucking in second.
Hey.
Okay, so you know how he was denied bail? Yes, 250, fucking in seconds. Hey, okay. So you know how he was denied bail?
Yes, 250,000.
Yeah.
So he was arrested in the Bahamas and now he's got to be
extradited to the US, which we should talk about because so
people were saying that that could be a year's long process, right?
He's going to fight it because he doesn't want to go to, he doesn't want to go to the US and face the wrath of the US justice
department. But, uh, okay, so let's just read a little bit from the, the court hearing for his
bail hearing, because it's quite interesting. Hit me. So before the proceeding could begin,
Bankman Fried's attorney asked the judge for permission to allow his client to take a prescription
medication. Bankman Fried told the judge that the medication was in his possession when he was arrested,
but he had not had access to it since Monday.
A police officer brought a ziplock bag of Bankman freed belongings into the court which contained
his medication.
Flight stole vitamins.
And the judge asked if he needed water to take it.
I don't need water, but I do need to take my shirt off to take them.
Bankman freed him.
Wait, it makes sense, it makes sense.
But it's just insane. Bankman freed who is known to sense. It makes sense. But it's just insane.
Bankman freed who is known to take and some patches as an antidepressant told the
book. And so the judge said, well, you certainly can't take your shirt off in court
before allowing him to leave the room for several minutes to take his medication.
Bankman freed who was characteristically jittery before taking his
medication was no longer jittery upon his return to court.
So He's he's been without his meds for a little while and bankman freed's parents are there
Bankman frees parents Joe bankman and Barbara Freed receded in the third row behind members of the press
They appeared to oscillate between dejection and defiance at times holding their heads in their hands clasping their hands
Bankman freed's mother audibly laughed several times when her son was referred to as a fugitive
and his father occasionally put his fingers in his ears
as if to drown out the sound of the proceedings.
Jesus, wheeze.
La, la, la, la.
That's gonna be a sad Hanukkah for this
for the Bankman Freed's.
Fucking wacky.
And this is the last one.
The judge told the courtroom that she had been wrestling with whether or not to grant
him bail since signing the warrant for his arrest.
This is from the judge.
On a good day, I don't drink.
Ask anybody.
But yesterday, I was sure gonna drink.
The judge said that.
That's a cool judge.
I mean...
This is all from CoinDesk.
They've been... Yeah. It's... it's gonna be a wacky one.
Thank man.
It's gonna be a real wacky one.
Okay, but so as I was saying,
he doesn't, he wants to fight it and stay in Muhammad's,
but I think that's gonna change very quickly.
Because, go ahead.
Because he's finding out what Bahamian jail is like.
It's awesome, huh? No, he doesn't like it.
I wouldn't call it awesome. So they have, you know, they have one jail.
San Bangra freed his head into a harsh Bahamian prison after magistrate.
Judge, but what is it called? It's called the Fox Hill Congressional
Facil-correctional Facility. It sounds notoriously overcrowded and
unsanitary institution. So they have a huge
rate of incarceration in the Bahamas. And you know, so the jail is overpopulated and
mates are supposed to get an hour outside each day, but under staffing and overcrowding
means there are periods where prisoners may only see the sunlight for 30 minutes a week.
And it's so sunny in the Bahamas. I know. At 2021, human rights report on the Bahamas
by the US State Department revealed even more
about Fox Hill inmates at the facility said they had to remove human waste by bucket
and were prone to bed sores after being forced to lie in the hard ground for long time.
Yeah.
Reports cited in festitations of rats, maggots, insects, and individual cells which measure
just six by ten feet in the maximum security block.
Oh my god.
Also subjected to poor nutrition saying they lacked access to nutritional meals and sometimes
faced long delays in between meals.
Maybe they could print a Fox Hills correctional facility coin.
That might help raise some capital.
Scan banquement fraud.
Scan banquement fraud could say, listen, I can help you.
You just have to create a coin.
So apparently his family is appealing to the court to let them bring his vegan meals into the jail.
Oh, booooo.
That's gonna result in bullying from the other inmates for sure.
Between that and having to take off his shirt to put on his anxiety patch.
His handsome patch is...
Please, that's my patch! That's that I shouldn't make fun of.
I know, I don't... I feel as much as I'm like, this is justice happening in real time,
it's also, you know, it's, it's,
not fun to watch some stuff for.
I don't like seeing any human being suffer in a period.
Also, it's unusual.
Unless it's Hitler at the dentist,
then I'm like, yeah, give him the fucking root canal,
no Novakaine.
There you go.
Dig up as Exumus body he was burned by the Russians, but you know what I mean.
I have to say it's also unusual to see...
There's part of me that I was thinking there's no way anything's going to happen to him,
right?
How often do you see...
Oh, they were probably building the case.
The lawyers were clicking back in the way.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
For sure.
But in my mind, I was thinking there was no way this guy would see any repercussions for
what he did.
Yeah.
I mean, how often do you see someone committing financial crimes get reamed?
Yeah.
I mean, since Bernie made off, who is it?
Well, it's not, we just saw Elizabeth Holmes and Sonny, whatever his last name is.
Please go ahead and jail for longer than I have.
Yeah, 13 years to her 10, I think.
They'll be fine.
They'll both write books when they're out and they'll be fucking millionaires.
Because everybody's going to want to know their side of the story.
There are publishers who are probably already clamoring to bid on the books.
That's not worth it for 10 years until.
No, of course not.
I wouldn't say they'll be fine.
They will be fine after that.
Yeah, they'll be fine after a'll they will be fine after that. Yeah, they'll be fine. After a while, after a horrible experience for 10 years, you know what my favorite part
about this is the celebrities and the NFT people getting sued. I wonder if it'll actually
go anywhere. Jimmy Fallon wins Paltrow, Madonna, other celebrities are sued getting sued.
And then yeah, others that promoted the board ape, NFTs are facing a class action lawsuit.
So let's see if that goes anywhere.
But speak.
Yeah, they're saying that you galabs the people who made it were using some service called
moon pay as an intermediary to compensate the people promoting NFT collections.
What happened to good old nickels and dimes, huh folks?
What happened?
Penies.
I throw them away. You throw away pennies. If I've got them in like my pocket, what am I gonna do with that?
Put them in a jar. They're worth less than the copper that they're
Yeah, but that doesn't affect you put them in a jar. That's true. I keep them in my change thing in the car
The biggest thing that I am the most excited about is
We called them out on this show. This is insane. You called it
Because you you brought him up you got into we're talking about Zach Morris, which is an alias
Not the guy from save by the bell, but some guy on Twitter who pumps and dumps. Yeah, but
You were arguing with him on Twitter and then you said to me, I don't know if you said it on the show, you probably did, but you said to me, I think he's nervous, I think he's in trouble.
And the SEC is investigating him or something, because he's acting very straight back in February.
He goes by Mr. Zach Morris, a shameless, unrelenting pumper. I'm pretty sure that that would would be that would get you in trouble with the SEC.
Yeah, so oh, here's some tweets from him. I am February 15th, 2022. I said,
Zach Morris is too scared to even post his face or his name, so I doubt he'd have the stones to go on my show.
Because I invited him on. I said, come on to the show, bitch. And he didn't. I said, come on, my podcast, bitch, defend yourself.
And then he blocked me, but then he unblocked me. And anyway, I was calling him out for being
a pump and dumper, someone who bandies together with other nefarious individuals to buy up shares
of cheap stocks and then promote those stocks. And then as their followers are buying the stocks,
they dump their shares for huge gains.
So big, big, big, big news.
The SEC is coming after him and seven others for it.
And it's similar to this where it's the DOJ end
the SEC parallel suits.
Yeah, a hundred million dollar pump and dump scheme. Um, there was, uh, yeah,
scroll down please. Let's see. They are do do do do. Yeah, they're filing charges against them.
There's these eight guys. So the SEC named Morris. He's legally named Edward Constantine.
Together with please don't be Greek. Please don't be Greek. Perry Matlock, Thomas Cooperman,
Gary deal Mitchell, Hennessy, aka Hugh Henny. Please don't be Greek. Perry Matlock Thomas Cooperman Gary deal
Mitchell Hennessy aka Hugh Henny. I remember that dipshit. Hugh Henny. I think Hugh Henny has a podcast called like
Yeah, they do going in raw going in raw. Yeah, no night ran
Night ran a podcast called pennies going in raw pennies going in raw
Fuck that shit. Truly truly your mindset bitch hey
Stefan
raviton
uh
John
Rybar zick aka ultra calls Daniel Knight aka deity of dips
These guys is also named a co-defendant as he quote aided and abetted the scheme through his podcast with you honey
so that's really fucking funny.
The, according to the agency, the gang, as they would refer to themselves, earned approximately
approximately a hundred million dollars from this stock manipulation scheme.
Oh, and, Zach Morris!
Get the fuck out of here!
Do not tell me that he actually tweeted that.
Okay, okay okay so folks
this is a tweet that mr. Zach Morris himself tweeted on he tweeted on uh let's see
January February March March 2nd I needed to remember what month the third month was uh he tweeted
someone someone tweeted at him the SEC SEC is coming for Zach Morris.
And he quote, retweeted it saying, I've been hearing this for the last five years.
One last time, SEC, these nuts.
Oh, I thought he meant like second, these nuts.
Oh, maybe yes, second, these nuts, second, these nuts.
Well, they got you.
They sure are second, these nuts now. I don't just not share if you're happy with all that teeth. They're using.
Yeah. Boy, but they have, they have quotes and stuff from their little discord. And it's, it's, it's pretty fucked. Oh, yeah. Is it from the one that I
No, oh, yeah. Uh, that's funny. There's, there's a link that I put in Zach. Oh, and he would taunt them, he would post SEC stuff,
like, oh, SEC's most wanted.
Wait, listen, so at one point,
Knight mocks an unnamed co-conspirator
who frets about getting caught
and says he wants to make buys the right way.
And so he says, the fucking right way,
we're robbing fucking idiots of their money.
No, fuck it.
Way.
Yep, both night.
In the same conversation, Kuperman describes the mechanics
of how Rybarrzix pumps stocks. Like, what, what he does is he alerts it, and then like,
five minutes, this is how they're talking. Like, what he does is he alerts it, and then
like, five minutes later, all his little minions start like retweeting it and saying, added
with him. So it like builds the hype back up,
it happens every single time.
They have this shit down to a fucking science.
It's great.
In another recording though,
Knight worries some other members of the right might,
of the right might be getting too brazen.
I'm playing this extremely smart for the very long time.
If you don't think all these fuckers go to jail
or at least get sued, you are crazy.
Just wait and see, it's market manipulation.
Wait, who said that? That one is...
That sounded like someone was being smart.
That was night. Yeah, it...
That was night being like, you guys are getting too out of control with it.
Uh, yeah. I'm trying to play this the right way.
And you guys are getting too brazen.
Yeah, that's... that was always what was surprising to me is because it was obvious to anyone with a
brain and just a modicum of critical thinking skills could see
that what they were doing on Twitter was Tantumount to Pump Endums, which is illegal.
But what we're seeing with all of these things is that it's not, right? We have been doing this
for a while now and we make fun of these things and it's funny because these are things we've
been talking about and now we get to see them months later.
Which is good.
No, it is good, but it seems like it's not clear to anyone.
It's not clear to that people at all.
Yeah.
It's clear that we're the outsiders being like, what are you doing?
I think a lot of people felt the same way that we felt.
It's just that it's frustrating because it takes time to build a case.
And I'm glad that the SEC waited and it. It sounded like they had moles inside their
chat rooms and were were like, if you click some highlights there, there's, there was this
one. I remember when this went down, there was this ticker symbol, CEI, if you click the
pictures, there are quotes here. So basically this part documents how they bought hundreds of thousands of shares.
Go to the next one.
They bought hundreds of thousands of shares of this CEI stock.
And they, so like, you know, with this guy bought 936,000 shares, this guy had 835,000. Another guy had 405,000 at a price of 46 cents, 47 cents.
And then they were starting to pump it on Twitter.
The poor guy who has to write up all their quotes and put asterisk and everything, using
an abbreviation for the sling term, cheap as fuck. Adding CEI with you, that's cheap AF
using an abbreviation for the sling term cheap as fuck. Within C.E.I. with you, that's cheap AF using an abbreviation for the slang term cheap
as fuck.
Within the next four minutes after those posts, they started selling shares, 165,000,
60,000, Cooperman sold 240,000 as the price rose by a penny per share.
So they were just like, they were just picking up pennies, but still with that amount of,
with that amount of shares, they're making a killing. And then they're, they're all on Twitter, just fucking pumping like crazy. And it just
details how immediately after both. Oh my God. Within two minutes, deal head-sold 95,000
shares. Matt Lockett sold 198,000 shares. Cooper Middits sold all 165,000 of his remaining
shares. Yeah. So continue there. I think there's one way. What did that? Can you zoom in on that? What?
Oh, I never mind. Oh him saying C.E.I. pay us. Let's be clear. It's just it's insane. And I think I remember making I think I remember tweeting it to one of them about it
But anyway, but so while they were promoting C.E.I. on Twitter, they were simultaneously selling all their shares
to their unsuspecting followers.
It was just terrible.
Right, so they would buy into these shitty stocks.
Yeah.
And then once they bought it at a low price,
they would tell all of their,
all the people who follow them,
10,000 to followers.
I mean, would Zach Morris be the guy
who has the most followers?
He has about half a million followers.
And so they would pump it out to everyone and go, this is the fucking next one, I'm holding
blah blah.
And then as soon as the stock would go up, they would make them.
Even they wouldn't even hold for like, dude, if you're going to be, you said two minutes
later.
Yeah, give it a second.
But then what they would do is they would tweet because there's a lot of instances where
Zach Morris, they have a lot of tweets where he's going, nah, I hold on my shit.
I hold everything. I remember. Oh, I actually lost a ton of instances where Zach Morris, they have a lot of tweets where he's going, nah, I hold on my shit. I hold everything.
I remember.
Oh, I actually lost a ton of money on this one.
Yeah, I still believe in it.
Oh, fuck dude, I got burned on that one.
Yeah, a big one that he was in,
and I'm sure it's part of the complaint was Wish.
He pumped the shit out of Wish.com.
I bet he wishes.
I bet he wishes he fucking didn't.
Yeah, then I think, yeah, well that's it,
that's it for that. But it feels
good to know that there's justice in the world. Gary Gensler having a hell of a week.
Yeah. Gary G head of the SEC is doing some good by everybody. Yeah, it's nice. It's one
of those things where, yeah, I'm just glad I'm not
saying, being free and I'm glad I'm not these guys,
because I'm sure that they were feeling untouchable
for the longest time, and now it's all,
I am curious that the world is collapsing around them.
The thing you brought up for the past two years,
SBF has just been pulling his hair out like,
oh my god, how am I gonna get out of this?
Yeah, did you watch the did you watch the the
fictionalized version of the Elizabeth Holmes thing on who it's great. I highly recommend it, but
They don't paint her as a sympathetic character necessarily
Excuse me
but they definitely
show how
It just got out of control really, really fast.
And she, it was like, it started out where she just kind of had to lie a little bit just
to get to the next step.
And then it just quickly just ballooned out of control to the point where it's like the
thing that the little machine worked once.
And then they were just trying to get back to that one thing.
Right. Forever. And it just, it just kept getting worse. once and then they were just trying to get back to that one thing.
Forever. And it just kept getting worse. And you could see that she's like, fuck, fuck, one. Yeah. And it just kept going. She had to just spin more
tails to keep everybody at bay. And it was almost, I think she probably, because
Elon Musk, it very, he very well could have suffered that same fate because he was doing a lot of the same shit, vaporware with cars and whatnot and promising things
and just kicking the can down the road and almost being on the brink of Tesla, declaring bankruptcy,
but he skated away untouched.
And yeah, not.
I mean, I imagine that is what he was going through.
And it's probably why he doubled down so hard on regulation.
You know, a big part of it was he was trying to secure the CFTC as the regulator for crypto, rather than the SEC, because the CFTC would have a lot less teeth and
tools to go after him. And I mean, it's funny because now both of them are going after him. But I imagine that's why he was spending so much time in the influence game, right?
Like maybe I can buy myself,
maybe I can buy my way out of this.
Yeah.
Wait, there were just two, I just wanted to show
that there were two tweets,
because not everyone is stoked about this.
But now that my Twitter is just a free for all,
because the way
the algorithm or something has changed since Elon's taking over, you get some funny
takes. So if you can click the leo on, this is the person I was talking about last week.
Some people thought it was, so she said, SPF getting arrested isn't a good thing. He
was meant to testify under oath before Congress today who would then charge him with
a crime.
Prosecutor.
Prosecutors.
She's held prosecutors.
Prosecutors just saved SPF from incriminating himself.
It's all a joke and they've all been paid off.
So weird fucking take.
Yeah, they think they're trying to put number one.
She's already been charged with the crime.
Congress doesn't charge people with crimes.
Fucking bizarre.
But there's a lot of people in the weird crypto space, because she's a big bit-cointer,
who are like, this is a fucking, it's all a big conspiracy.
But then there's this guy, Dr. Ari.
I honestly couldn't tell if this one was a joke,
but I figured you might be the expert.
He said,
Sam Bankman Fried was arrested in the Bahamas.
The young entrepreneur is suffering the wrath brought on
by Yays anti-Semitism.
We have seen an increase in violence towards Jews
in recent years since Trump's election.
Now this modern day lynching is taking place.
That's not real.
There's no way to do it.
I know, I could. There's no way to stay in it.
There's no way.
Please, Dr. Reuben.
And I was like, that was December 12th,
and I was like, he's gonna delete this
because this is a terrible take.
Yeah.
It's gotta be a bit.
Yeah, because then there's this other one he tweeted,
I'm not one to jump to conclusions,
but the UVA mass shooting was likely a direct
cause by the suspect receiving racial abuse from his teammates.
Universe.
Wait, but I that these are two.
Oh, yikes dumb fucking take.
Wait, Sb.
Wait, what?
No, it's just a, he's just, yeah, I don't know if he's joking or not.
Oh, well.
Okay.
All right. Well, okay.
All right, well Harvard graduate, FDA, yeah.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
Well, what else will I get?
Well, good luck to SBF and all your future endeavors, Will.
Speaking of Twitter and Elon, I'm guessing, because I also,
I've made the prediction on the show before
that I think the next big domino to fall
in the world of all of this is Elon Musk.
I think that his financial house of cards
is going to collapse soon,
and I think we're starting to see the first hints of it.
Because I believe he's getting margin called on his, on his leveraged Tesla holdings.
And his, and his loans for Twitter. Yeah. Because he's been liquidating stock again. And,
oh, and selling it a loss. Yeah, as they were saying on the radio this morning, he's selling it a
loss. So and the further because the loans that he has out against his share,
that was his leverage that he used to get loans was against his own Twitter
or Tesla shares. Those are those loans are contingent upon
Tesla shares maintaining a certain level of value.
So when they go below that value,
that he's at risk for exactly what might be happening,
them calling in and saying,
yo, we need to collect because the further down this goes,
the further we are at risk of not being able to collect
on the loans that we've given you.
Right.
And then that could create a cascading effect
where the further the price goes, the more he has to sell
and the more he's got to sell, the more everybody else
now knows, okay, the jig is up,
the biggest shareholder out there with,
however many, how much does he have?
$200 billion or something, $190 something.
Because he's no longer the richest man in the world.
Yeah, it's sad. Louis Vu Vuitton guy Louis Vuitton.
Louis Vuitton LVMH I think is the is the company Louis Vuitton and like
Vouve Clico the luxury brand.
Family Bernard on our Nalt Bernard on all know can we see what this guy looks like?
Are you going to tell me what his penis looks like?
Just by looking maybe looks like. Are you gonna tell me what his penis looks like? Just by looking at it. Maybe.
Looks like the tip of a champagne bottle.
He is a French.
I am better now than now.
My family make luxury brand.
That you can not afford.
What do you want to?
Kind of doing like a French scar face.
Yes. How am I going to get the pussy? No.
Am I going to get a scar like this? Even pussy? Look at me. Now look at you.
And we are not the same.
That's okay. Okay. He's I'm not my sharpest this week.
Let him have it folks, all right.
He does, um, he looks good for the richest man in the world, doesn't he?
I don't know.
He just gets it with like nobody cares.
Everybody gives him a free pass.
It's like, yeah, cool.
We like Louis Vuitton.
That's cool.
Well, because he doesn't, I'm sure if he made himself the center of the universe every
day.
Yes. People would dislike him a lot more.
Yeah.
And I'm sure there's a lot of...
There's probably plenty of things you could pull about this man's life that you're like,
this guy sucks.
Yeah, maybe.
But he didn't feel the urge to buy Twitter.
The space where everyone talks and gives their takes.
Yeah.
It is really funny that Elon Musk thinks that he is so, his business acumen is so good.
Well, what's the characterization of business acumen?
Sharp.
Sure.
Good.
Firm.
Squishy.
It's funny watching this, right?
Because there are two very different opinions about this.
I think the people who like him are saying, he is a genius. This proves this, right? Because there are two very different opinions about this. I think the people who like him are saying he is a genius.
This proves it, right?
You know, you can be as pissed as you want in him,
but he fired everyone from Twitter
and he's running it with a skeleton crew
and it all works great.
And, you know, he's showing all tech companies
that you don't need these bloated rosters
and you can do it without that.
And sometimes I'm like, oh yeah, maybe they're right.
But then you're like, wait, but he's not,
he's losing a bunch of money,
advertisers are fleeing,
he's not paying rent on Twitter offices, I'm pretty sure.
It all seems like a fucking mess to me.
Yeah, and I don't think that just because you are pissed off at the way something works doesn't mean that you
Understand that business enough. I mean Twitter's been around for what like 15 years
10 more than that more than that more than 10 years. Mm-hmm something like that. I
Think came out just cuz he thinks hey, I know how to know how to, I know what's wrong with it because
the liberals keep banning, shadow banning my libertarian friends. I know how to make this
website work. It's like, no, dude, there's so much more to it than you realize. And you're
in over your head, dipshit. That's all I got to say about that. All right, what else we got?
We got some fusion, this fusion energy thing
everybody was really excited about, but.
But you don't buy it.
Well, like everything, it's just gonna, yeah,
like, okay, by the time I'm fucking 50,
maybe they'll do it, maybe they'll actually have.
That's probably right.
They said it'll probably be at least a decade
before they could actually implement it.
Yeah. Well, that's good.
But I know that they did it by like shooting lasers at a tiny little cylinder.
Fucking dorks.
You absolutely nerd.
I'd be lying if I said I understood it.
I understood everyone was stoked about it.
Mm-hmm.
And then it's really you start reading it and they're like, and the isotopes and you're like,
fuck you.
Don't say fucking isotopes to me.
Yeah, don't say it to me.
Don't fucking say isotopes. Say like're like, fuck you. Don't say fucking isotopes to me. Yeah, don't say it to me. Don't fucking say isotopes to me.
Say like cluster of fucking cells you have.
Did you just say isotope, motherfucker?
Yeah.
You know, I don't understand what that is.
I don't know what that is, and I refuse to Google it.
Some guy in the comments is writing right now.
Well, it's actually really understand.
Easy to understand, a meal.
Engineer here.
Yeah.
Engineer chiming in.
And isotope is, so shut the fuck up.
Don't chime in if you're an engineer.
We know, we can Google it, but we're not gonna.
Also, you telling me I'd still go,
okay, what is that mean?
It's a really tiny thing.
Smashed into another one.
Now explain how the laser made the thing,
I don't care.
Just figure it out, you dorks.
Yeah, do it faster.
Yeah, I will say.
Yeah, if you guys are so smart, why't you get why it's gonna take 10 years asshole
Why am I having a car with an internal combustion engine? Yeah, why am I not speeding off and fucking I
Don't know what it is thermal energy. Yeah, I don't know. Jesus, great motherfucker. There's this guy on tiktok who claims to be
Fusion energy I said thermal
That was embarrassing
Yeah, the engineers are gonna kill us. What do you really said this week or something dude? What's going on with you?
I feel good. Hey, man. I'm worried about you. I feel great. Uh
There's this guy on TikTok who claims to be converting all kinds of
Organic waste into like converting them to what like Christianity
and all kinds of organic waste into like, converting them to what?
Like Christianity?
Hi, hydrogen fuel.
Did I ever tell you about the time I could-
I would say, I have to say,
I do love that this was from a government,
like a government-funded scientist and not, you know.
Elon Musk's.
Right, it's not gonna be some bullshit tech startup
that saves us, but I guarantee this will somehow
get sold off to some corporation and even if it's limitless energy, we'll have to buy
it from them. Yeah, BP will figure it's an arbitrary, well, 1000 megajoules of whatever
sure could power whole city. But there's a lot of input costs. It is, wow. Have you heard the stat they keep throwing out
is that, you know, just one whatever,
could power an entire house for 800 years or something?
That's a weird metric.
Why not tell me it could power 800 houses for a year
or something?
A could power one house.
Take it up with the site.
Or a millennia.
You guys are so fucking stupid.
Take it up with the science. Yes, millennia. You guys are so fucking stupid.
Take it up with the science.
God damn.
What the fuck?
Oh Jesus Christ.
Why don't you just print fusion coin and fund it your fucking selves.
I'm so mad.
Anyway, there's...
There's...
There's other good news out there.
Is there?
Yeah, Moderna.
Moderna, you know, the COVID conspirators
who are injecting you with whatever the fuck
they're injecting us with,
they have a skin cancer, a melanoma vaccine
that's, I think, showed 44% efficacy in staving off melanoma.
But only when combined with Merck,
this other company, Merck's treatment thing.
Do you want me to do an SNL joke for it?
Sure.
Can you go up to the headline?
Moderna's mRNA skin cancer vaccine
shows early promise in a new study.
When reached out to my Republican uncle,
he said, I'd rather take my chances with skin cancer.
That's very good. That's actually a sneak peek at a, at a new kind of segment.
We're going to be trying in the new year. Was that good? Yeah.
That was pretty good. You don't have a, you don't have studio eight H full of
people gone. I thought that you were going to say something along the lines of,
Oh, this week in news, Moderna's mRNA skin cancer vaccine shows early promise
in a new study.
That's right, it promises to, I don't know,
fucking inject you.
I'm even not one.
Well, yeah, I'm fucking improvising here.
I'm trying to come up with something.
Moderna's, it shows early promise.
Yeah, they promise to.
It promises to ruin your next Thanksgiving
when your uncle says that it turns you gay. Yeah. Sure, there you go. Yeah, how about that? Yeah, okay, to... Promises to ruin your next Thanksgiving when your uncle says that it turns you gay.
Yeah.
Sure, there you go.
Yeah, how about that?
Yeah, okay, let's try this with another headline.
What other headlines do we have?
Let's just do it.
Oh, US lawmakers introduced Bill to ban TikTok.
US lawmakers introduced...
I got one, I got one, I got one.
I got one.
Hey, so this week US lawmakers.S. lawmakers introduced a bill
to ban TikTok, and the way they fucking let everybody know
was through a TikTok dance.
Yeah, nah, that's good.
The dance, the dance works.
U.S. lawmakers introduced bill to ban TikTok.
Your gay uncle's gonna stop doing dances on TikTok now.
I got uncles on the brain. Yeah, yeah, wow, what's going on?
Uh, you know I'm an uncle.
Nice.
I'm an uncle times four.
I'm uncle Ben.
Like the race.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then my brother Sam is uncle Sam.
Like the guy, like the dad of the country country Who the fuck was Uncle Sam?
It was like a bullshit propaganda thing. Yeah, but like who came up with that the madman of the 1700s?
I was friends. It's got key
Didn't he write the national anthem? Yeah, and Uncle Scott
U.S. Lawmaker. Oh, yeah, okay.
United States nicknamed Uncle Sam.
Your other uncle's wondering,
oh, that was this guy.
Yeah, oh, the September 7th, 1813.
The United States gets his nickname Uncle Sam.
The name is linked to Samuel Wilson,
a meatpacker from Troy, New York,
who's applied barrels of beef.
That's the last thing I would expect to be in a barrel.
You don't get your beef barrel? No, dude.
How long has this beef been barreled for?
Well, Uncle Sam tells us it's been there for a year.
Stamp the barrels with US for United States,
but soldiers begin referring to the grab as Uncle Sam's.
Interesting. Okay.
Wait, let's try it.
There's something there with the TikTok headline, right?
Come on.
I feel like I nailed it with the uncle thing.
Yeah.
Introduce a bill to ban TikTok.
I know that there are, I'm sure that there's all kinds of like formulas that they have.
When asked for, when reached for comment, so and so. Well, you also like have to own the right wing, right? That's part of SNL. You
like, you have to make it seem like Republicans are idiots and like if you, whatever. So I prefer
the Nor McDonnell approach of just making some kind of weird dark joke. Oh, those are the
best ones. Yeah. That's the that's pinnacle of the weekend update. Yeah. He was the best.
And Colin, Colin.
Joe's?
No, no.
The other one, the old guy.
Oh, Colin Quinn.
Colin Quinn, he was great.
I hated him as a kid, but now as an adult, I fucking love him.
Yeah.
His delivery is so dry and so funny.
Norma's still king.
Hey, the US is gonna ban tech.
Oh, you're going to work.
I don't know.
I haven't, I've never done Nor McDonnell.
Yeah.
I wish they would ban.
You know what else I, that's what he would do.
He would say, you know what else I wish they'd ban?
I don't know.
And then he would say like, communist or something.
What would, what would Nor McDonnell wish that they'd ban?
I don't know.
My annoyed my gay uncle.
My favorite thing is he got fired
because he wouldn't he wouldn't stop making fun of OJ.
That's why he got fired.
Yeah, he wouldn't stop making fun of OJ.
Yeah, there's big compilations of him doing OJ jokes.
They're like 30 minutes long.
Don't don't play it.
Just, I don't know.
We won't.
Can you Google it?
So I believe you, I believe you.
Man, he was a good looking guy.
Flashback, norm McDonald roasts, OJ Simpson, Simpson after, yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Why not?
Are we allowed to play these?
Yeah, not without you.
Yeah, yeah.
That's cool.
And then he went on, he went on. Are we allowed to play these? Yeah, and I without you. Yeah, yeah. That's cool.
And then he went on, he went on,
he went on Letterman and he was just very, very funny.
Yeah.
What else have we got?
You want to do another, you got another headline in you?
Well, we're, we're, we're approaching the end of the thing.
So maybe, maybe US vegetable prices.
Oh, this one you got one for?
We can do something there.
There's something there.
Let's click that one.
So in the future, we would, we would,
wait, I got one for the other one.
Write these out.
Okay, good, great.
I love this.
Come on, baby.

No word yet on if he's going to fucking outfit them with bathrooms.
Something, something like there's,
see the thing is that folks that were coming up
with these just off the top of the dome,
so they're not good is the thing.
Yeah, they're pretty good.
We're going to do that.
It's easy to work at SNL.
Anyone can do it.
You just gotta give it five minutes.
We're not warmed up.
We gotta think about plus your brain asking them to give at SNL. Anyone can do it. You just gotta give it five minutes. We're not warmed up. We gotta think about.
Plus your brain...
I was gonna give them to give us five minutes.
Your brain has to, you gotta be in the head space
of writing headlines like this.
So outfit, right?
Elon Musk has outfit at Twitter's headquarters
with bedrooms for employees.
Yeah.
So there's all sorts of...
The male engineers left at the company
are wondering which one he'll use
to further procreate on the, you know what what you know he said he's like what you know
how he said he wants to make more baby yeah yeah he's worried about under
population yeah well he fired everyone except for just a bunch of nerdy
engineers yeah okay and so you know someone's worried about him trying to impact me at them.
Look, I'm workshop, there's no bad ideas.
Yeah, this is tough, man.
I got a hand at to him every week.
I do this, he's crazy.
Elon Musk has outfitted.
There's something without fit.
Also, they don't do it on the spot, you know?
I know, of course.
And they have a whole team of people doing,
not us though, it's just up.
But we could do it.
Yeah, there's no one to save us. But we could do it not on the spot. No, I know, but it's just up. But we could do it. Here, there's no one to save us.
But we could do it not on the spot.

We're gonna.

Well, I can't think you could agree.
This is from, according to Bloomberg, US vegetable.
You guys see this one, folks?
US vegetable prices soar nearly 40% as water cuts crush supply.
Uh, I'm trying to think of the vegetable everybody hates that they can't, that the price
actually broke.
Don't walk us through the process because nobody, yeah, but I don't know what's a vegetable everybody hates that they can't, that the price actually dropped. Don't walk us through the process,
