Maybe it was all best summed up by Kevin O’Leary, a former paid spokesman for FTX who also lost money during the implosion of FTX. O’Leary quote-tweeted Bill Ackman on Wednesday, who said he believed SBF after watching the interview, suggesting perhaps that it was all a bunch of honest mistakes.

“I lost millions as an investor in @FTX and got sandblasted as a paid spokesperson for the firm but after listening to that interview I’m in the @BillAckman camp about the kid!” O’Leary tweeted.
The kid. The 30-year-old kid.
George Stephanopoulos of ABC News recently flew down to conduct his own interview with SBF in the Bahamas, which is expected to air on Good Morning America on Thursday morning. But here’s hoping old George will squeeze some actual news out of his interview. Because while Sorkin’s interview on Wednesday may provide some opportunities for eagle-eyed lawyers hoping to catch SBF in some contradictions, it was clearly an attempt by SBF to manipulate the narrative by appearing to offer contrition for the collapse of FTX, while getting away with a gentle slap on the wrist because he’s just a young 30-year-old boy, after all. The idiotic boy genius.
