Those are some candid remarks by the new CEO.

"I have over 40 years of legal and restructuring experience. [...] Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here. From compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated[1] and potentially compromised individuals, this situation is unprecedented."[2]

I am really looking forward to the next Matt Levine column going through this filing!

Not from finance - what is meant here by “potentially compromised”? Is that just as vague in context?


It means that after looking at the books for a week, he thinks that key employees at the firm may have been crooks, as opposed to idiots.


Heh, gotcha. Thanks!


Employee theft - CYA in case they're not, but heavily implying that there's evidence of criminal activity from the inexperienced and unsophisticated people in control of FTX.
