SBF Sam Bankman-Fried

We like that handle, SBF.  How many individuals ever get to be known by a three initial handle?  It was stylish for awhile for Presidents FDR, DDE, JFK and then LBJ.  But then it fell out of style.  Nixon was never RMN and Jimmy Carter was never JEC.  There was no ring there.  A lot of people get known by a few initials in their handle like J.D. Salinger, P.T. Barnum and D.B. Cooper but not too many people ever get that the three initial handle.

At first the Mass Hysteria referred to him by his whole name Sam Bankman-Fried but then slowly but surely, everyone, maybe just tired of typing all those letters, began to use the three initial moniker SBF.  We like it because the B in it smacks of something sinister, like the BTK killer.  It also has an artistic touch, like the boy band BTS from South Korea.  It also has a certain ring to it like cha-ching, the sound of money being rung up in an old style cash register.  And, that's the major problem for SBF.  He figured out how to ring it up, he just doesn't know right now, where it all went.  And, when you do that, a whole lot of people with three initial handles in their job title, like Special Agent FBI and Prosecutor DOJ, come looking for you.

Ole SBF has other problems too.  Like a decent haircut or hair style for one thing.  But the real big problem at the moment, is his long time girl friend has gone solo.  She's thrown him under the Bus.  She's singing to the Feds.  And while she maybe skinny, it's going to have the same effect as when the fat lady at the Opera sings.  

And, while SBF does his time and it may be a long stretch, as the DOJ insists on it, when you steal billions, it might dawn on him that he should have listened to Beyonce when she sang. 

"You can't be mad.  

Cause if you liked it you should have put a ring on it."  

There is this thing called spousal immunity.  

And, we don't care how "woke" you might be when you first saw a picture of Caroline Ellison, SBF's longtime girlfriend pictured right here, 

you thought.  'The guy's a billionaire and he can't do any better than that?'.  Or maybe you thought how old is she?  She looks happy here, like she just got her braces off.

And, as 2023 comes into view, we can see that there will be heroes and zeros.  And then, there will be  some people who will go from hero to zero.  SBF, Crypto King, who used to hob knob with the rich and the fabulous, gets to be the first.
