#SBFFTX BREAKING: (SBF)Sam Bankman-Fried’s First Tweet in Two Years Sparks Crypto Frenzy
In a shocking turn of events, Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of FTX, has posted on X (formerly Twitter) for the first time in over two years. His tweet, which simply read, "Missed anything?", quickly went viral, igniting speculation about how he managed to post while serving his prison sentence.
Bankman-Fried is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn after being sentenced to 25 years for fraud, conspiracy, and misusing billions in customer funds. His sudden online activity has led many to question whether he personally wrote the tweet or if someone else, such as a lawyer or family member, had access to his account.
Crypto Markets React
Shortly after the tweet, FTT, the token associated with FTX, surged by 30%, jumping from $1.60 to over $2.00 within minutes. However, the rally was short-lived, with the price quickly dropping again. The sudden spike and crash highlighted how volatile crypto markets remain, even years after FTX’s collapse.
Community and Legal Reactions
Crypto enthusiasts had mixed reactions. Some saw humor in the tweet, while others criticized it, arguing that Bankman-Fried should remain silent given the devastating impact FTX’s downfall had on investors.
Legal experts also weighed in, noting that if Bankman-Fried personally accessed social media, he could face additional legal consequences. The Federal Bureau of Prisons has yet to confirm whether it is investigating how the tweet was sent.
What’s Next?
With no official explanation for the tweet, speculation continues. Is this a one-time event, or will SBF continue to communicate from behind bars? One thing is clear: even in prison, he remains a figure capable of shaking the crypto world.
