The former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) says he plans to speak with Andrew Ross Sorkin at the annual New York Times Dealbook Summit on Nov. 30, according to a tweet he published on Nov. 23. SBF\u2019s tweet received quite a bit of response and its unconfirmed as to whether or not the former FTX executive will appear in person or virtually.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No Shortage of Criticism After SBF Reveals He\u2019ll Be Speaking With Andrew Ross Sorkin at This Year\u2019s Dealbook Summit<\/h2>\n

Following the highly criticized New York Times (NYT) article<\/a> about Sam Bankman-Fried sleeping better and playing video games, one person jokingly tweeted<\/a> that day and said if SBF planned on attending this year\u2019s Dealbook Summit he would \u201cdefinitely [be] dropping by.\u201d Coincidently, SBF is still listed to attend the conference, and according to a tweet SBF made on Wednesday, he plans to speak at the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be speaking with [Andrew Ross Sorkin] at the @dealbook summit next Wednesday (11\/30),\u201d the former FTX CEO tweeted<\/a>. Immediately after SBF published the tweet, he was criticized for being able to attend the NYT event.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

The Twitter account @wsbchairman asked<\/a>: \u201cHow did this dude steal billions of dollars and is now speaking at a summit as a free man?\u201d One person replied to SBF and said that Bernie Madoff wasn\u2019t so lucky when the Twitter account @fintwit said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

In 2008, Bernie Madoff was arrested within 24 hours of his fraud being revealed. In 2022, Sam Bankman-Fried will be attending the NYTimes Dealbook Summit after his fraud was revealed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

SBF\u2019s tweet got a great number<\/a> of harsh responses<\/a> and people asking why the former FTX CEO was allowed to speak at such an event. According to the NYT Dealbook Summit event schedule<\/a>, other conference speakers include Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Tiktok CEO Shou Chew, U.S. Treasury secretary Janet Yellen, Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky, and former vice president of the United States Mike Pence.<\/p>\n

\n

Since Sam Bankman-Fried launched the company FTX, he spent or pledged hundreds of millions of dollars he stole from a million people, in political and charitable contributions, consulting fees, investments in media outlets and real estate.<\/p>\n

The event on Nov. 30 will be hosted by the NYT columnist and Dealbook founder Sorkin. \u201cEvery year, we bring together the most consequential people at the intersection of business, policy, and culture that are impacting society,\u201d Sorkin is quoted as saying on the event website.<\/p>\n

SBF\u2019s tweets are also set to a unique privacy setting, and only people SBF follows or mentions in his tweets can reply. One individual who could reply to SBF\u2019s tweet, longtime bitcoiner Bruce Fenton, said there would be a few topics that he thought people would like to hear.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

\u201cWould be good to hear: When\/how you decided to take client funds [and] use them as collateral for loans \u2013 this is the key issue much more than margin issues [and] is being brushed off,\u201d Fenton said<\/a> to SBF. \u201cMore on the political donations process [and] what those conversations are like behind closed doors,\u201d Fenton added.<\/p>\n

SBF is also featured in a Dealbook NYT article<\/a> called: \u201cInside Sam Bankman-Fried\u2019s Quest to Win Friends and Influence People.\u201d According<\/a> to the Dealbook Twitter account, the article talks about SBF\u2019s \u201cphilanthropic arm\u201d and \u201ccharitable contributions.\u201d Dealbook\u2019s tweet was also filled with a great number of people who disapproved<\/a> of the way the NYT was reporting on SBF.<\/p>\n

One individual wrote<\/a>: \u201cSam Bankman-Fried is a criminal who stole billions from his customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
