Hearing about this, my mind immediately went to the VC scene from Silicon Valley where they get better offers the more rude they are to the VCs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6Zz-Nkkaxc

Evidently there was some major truth behind that.

Good thing SBF left out the moustache—- he might have set off the Bachmann lidars otherwise..

Still, SBf had more finesse— his rudeness hit the VCs right in their IQ self-esteem, whereas Bachmann was all over the place: artistic pretensions, general taste, testicles.

But isn't that just a PR piece?

Genius founder gets $200M investment whilst also playing League of Legends. It makes a good story.

Yep. Now that we know that everything about SBF and FTX were lies we should assume this story is also fabricated.
