FTX manipulates Voyager asset auction to ensure winning bid
Cryptocurrency and financial researcher FatMan tweeted that a verified insider confirmed that FTX manipulated the Voyager asset auction to ensure winning bids. The purpose of doing so was to delay the recovery of Voyager’s loan to FTX & Alameda. If it were not delayed, SBF's fraud would have been exposed earlier, and winning the Voyager bid would allow him to maintain his image. SBF's purpose of putting itself in the spotlight was actually for self-protection.
If someone else wins the Voyager auction and calls in the FTX/Alameda loan, the house of cards will collapse and the FTT solvency scam will be exposed, which is why the SBF is desperate to "bail out" Voyager.
