One of the stranger things coming out of the collapse of FTX is that it wasn't _all_ a scam; if SBF and co they had simply let FTX function without giving special privileges to Alameda, it would have been a pretty non-scammy crypto exchange (overinflated in value, sure, but not fundamentally scamming its customers) and they all could have made great deals of money on that alone. But of course, that isn't what they did.
