Unbelievable @kevinolearytv says he would back SBF again and he was a “great trader”.
Kevin, you do realize he was front-running and counter-trading his own customers and dumping accumulated tokens on his own customers?

Speaking on the YouTube show Crypto Banker on Tuesday, “Mr. Wonderful” called Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) brilliant and a “good person.”
Host Ran Neuner asked O’Leary, if SBF “knocked on your door again and said, ‘look I failed in my last venture, I have a new crypto venture, I need money.’ Would you back him?”
“I think we can all admit — you can love him or hate him, given what’s happened — but he was one of the most brilliant traders in the crypto universe. He also built one of the most robust platforms. We used FTX actively. It was a very robust platform that allowed us to get information on a compliant basis, so I really liked what he built,” said O’Leary.
“Would you back him?” Neuner asked again.
“The answer would be yes,” said O’Leary.
