Microsoft already has a quantum computer running their Azure billing platform.
Ah, I see where I missed the point. I was thinking the TV Ads by Steph Curry, Tom Brady, Larry David, etc. Not the follow-up twitter posts adjacent to the TV campaign.

Thanks for clarifying! This will be interesting indeed.

> The issue is whether they properly disclosed having received payments for endorsements

Is it reasonable to expect a celebrity to make an advertisement for free? Maybe, maybe not, but this will be an interesting case.

This seems really wrong to me as FTX/SBF fooled Sequoia, Softbank, the Ontario Teachers Pension fund, and Temasek- some of the most sophisticated investors on planet earth.

Is it really appropriate to hold professional athletes personally liable for endorsing a company which slipped through the due diligence cracks of the above-mentioned firms?

Can you hold them personally liable when FTX was also sponsoring the Warriors, the Miami Heat arena, UC Berkley's "FTX Field," and MLB baseball by placing an FTX logo on umpire uniforms? Will the City of Miami/Dade County be held liable for receiving money to name the "FTX Arena"?

Was FTX actually insolvent at the time their contract was signed? When did FTX start engaging in fraudulent/criminal behavior? Is it reasonable to hold them liable for _future_ acts committed by a firm they endorsed?

Great article but man wasn't expecting to see anything from Michael Fertik. Haven't heard from/seen that name since 2006 when he was handing out "ReputationDefender destroy manuals" to Stanford undergrads. Hard to believe that was 16 years ago...
