SBF: Alameda has billions of dollars in margin positions on FTX and is currently staying sharp with video games
ChainCatcher news, SBF expressed deep regret over the company's collapse during a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times on Sunday, which reported that he was "surprisingly calm." SBF told The New York Times, "You might think I can't sleep right now, but I actually have slept a bit. But it could be worse." Additionally, Alameda accumulated a large margin position on FTX, which essentially means it borrowed funds from the exchange, with SBF stating the scale was in the billions of dollars but declined to provide further details.
In the interview, SBF mentioned that he is no longer in a romantic relationship with Alameda Research head Caroline Ellison. The New York Times reported that SBF refused to discuss the possibility of going to prison but has been passing the time by playing the video game Storybook Brawl, stating, "It keeps my mind clear." As for the mysterious tweets from the past few days, SBF explained, "I don't know" and "I'm just improvising." (The New York Times)
