SBF Is Sleeping Better, Playing Video Games — New York Times Sam Bankman-Fried Interview Dunked on for Going Soft on FTX Co-Founder.


On Nov. 14, the New York Times (NYT) published a massive 2,200-word expose and interview with the former CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), and the article was criticized a great deal after it was published. The article noted that SBF would only offer “limited details about the central questions swirling around him,” and most of the article cited a number of former employees and sources familiar with the matter.

New York Times Article Interviewing Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried Slammed for ‘Disgraceful Reporting’

The news publication the New York Times (NYT) is dealing with a lot of criticism tied to an interview with the former CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), after the NYT published the editorial on Nov. 14, 2022. The editorial and interview is 2,200 words long, and it contains direct comments from the former FTX executive. However, the bean-bag-loving SBF doesn’t get into much detail about what happened, and the new information people learned from the NYT report was that SBF was getting more sleep these days.

“You would’ve thought that I’d be getting no sleep right now, and instead I’m getting some,” SBF told the NYT reporters. “It could be worse,” the former FTX CEO added in a “wide-ranging interview on Sunday that stretched past midnight.” Although, after the interview with SBF was published, the NYT article was dunked upon by a myriad of critics for not grilling SBF for answers to meaningful questions about the collapse.
