He said, “I don’t know,” when asked why, adding, “I’m improvising. Bankman-Fried stated he didn’t know when asked further to explain why he tweeted the odd statement.

SBF Tweets Bring No Solace to FTX Clients
Bankman-fall Fried’s fall from grace is unquestionably not an exception to the natural tendency of cryptocurrency investors and influencers to downplay negative news in the space.
Over the last year, notable organizations and individuals, including well-known financiers and media figures, have elevated Bankman-Fried to the status of luminary and corporate icon. However, as the company faces insolvency, FTX customers and crypto enthusiasts who may be affected indirectly have turned to memes for solace. Since FTX declared bankruptcy, SBF has hardly tweeted or made any other public comments.
Some people on Crypto Twitter accused him of leaving for Argentina, which he denied. The founder of FTX gave a cryptic explanation of the circumstances that led to the company’s demise and outlined a plan to pay clients fairly. Bankman-Fried has personally suffered massive losses, which will provide cold comfort to those whose funds are trapped in the exchange.
