He was fully aware of what he was doing, he was basically taking revenge. According to CZ there was a period where FTX ended up "attacking" binance, and he saw that as treason because he was the first one to invest into it (well binance was but cz=binance in my mind).
This means he was expecting loyalty and instead he got attacked from them and this made him a bit angry and at the very least dislike FTX. Right now, he found a chance that he could just sell all of his FTT and take a small hit but he could destroy another website. This is why I believe he did it, otherwise he could have sold it for 22 dollars each, and he didn't and made a loss, all because he wanted to destroy FTX and nothing else.
Yup, and honestly, not that some background has opened, it wasn't the only reason. He was aware about some issues happening. The fact i thought that the fud was over was very naive thinking from me. Everything they had exposure to was being dumped and they had to prevent bank run effect.
There were also some leaked damning info about the FTX. (

The rabbit hole is so huge that i would need to do ton of research to cover everything and how it affected to firms that had loan deals with ftx. It's like a card house, one falling after another.
But there are way more capable people reporting about this then me so i don't think i'll be doing any exposure thread.
I am just wishing he didn't went and short FTT or others at the same time, as that could be seen as market manipulation for profit, and then Binance would be in trouble too and we would be REALLY in trouble.
