Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has now been free for more than a month in what continues to be a bizarre and questionable period.

Rippe, Michael 🎯 @MichaelRippe

FTX filed for bankruptcy on 11/11/22. SBF is still not in custody. Day 30.

The House Committee on Financial Services have requested SBF’s testimony and it remains to be seen if he will appear this week.

Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters

.@SBF_FTX, Based on your role as CEO and your media interviews over the past few weeks, it’s clear to us that the information you have thus far is sufficient for testimony. (1/3)

SBF @SBF_FTX

Rep. Waters, and the House Committee on Financial Services: Once I have finished learning and reviewing what happened, I would feel like it was my duty to appear before the committee and explain. I'm not sure that will happen by the 13th. But when it does, I will testify. https://t.co/c0P8yKlyQt
