Another facet of racism:
"Sam Bankman-Fried is thirty years old.
He appears to have lived independently of his parents since 2010, when he left
his childhood home near Stanford to move in to a big house in Cambridge with
other MIT undergrads. After he graduated he went to New York to work at Jane
Street, then moved back across the country to Berkeley for a brief stint at the
Centre for Effective Altruism. He was 25 when he founded Alameda Research, and
27 when he founded FTX. He moved with FTX to Hong Kong, then took it with him
to Nassau in The Bahamas in 2021. Only recently did he return home, moving back
in with his parents in their Palo Alto home while he’s confined to house
arrest.
But reading headlines and news stories, you would be forgiven if up until now
you had thought he was a teenager still driving around on a learner’s permit,
who picked up cryptocurrency trading to avoid the types of high school summer
jobs that might force him to go outside."
