IRS files $44B claims against bankrupt FTX
I sincerely hope that I never meet Sam Bankman Fried, because if I did I do not know what I would do but it certainly wouldn&#x27;t be legal.<p>I was stupid and thought that the 7+% interest I was getting from Gemini+GUSD+Genesis Holdings was a good idea, I put a good chunk of money in there, and as of right now the status for that appears to be in &quot;limbo at best&quot;.  It&#x27;s particularly upsetting, because this all unfolded right after I got fired from my last job, when I really needed my liquid money to pay for things like &quot;my mortgage&quot; and &quot;food&quot;.<p>I&#x27;m fine now fiscally, and even wasn&#x27;t in too much trouble back in November [1], but it make me lose multiple nights of sleep worrying about stuff, and also made me feel like an idiot for ever thinking that cryptocurrency was a good idea.<p>[1] I have a good chunk of money stashed in stocks&#x2F;ETFs, which I could have liquidated for money, but the market was pretty far down so I would have had to take a big haircut.
