Sam Bankman-Fried Was Spreading FUD On ‘CZ’ Before The Stock Market Crash
Hillman said, “Sam was constantly spreading false rumors about ‘CZ’ because portraying him as ‘bad Chinese’ was crucial to his scam. You can’t act like Luke Skywalker without Darth Vader,” he tweeted.
A great read by @WilliamCohan horse @PuckNews. One thing they missed, Sam was CONSTANTLY spreading fake rumors about @cz_binance, because shading him as an “evil Chinese” was critical to his scam. You can’t pretend to be Luke Skywalker without Darth Vader.https://t.co/oi9JxsqPyz

Hillman was citing a recent story about the collapse of FTX, published in Puck magazine, written from the perspective of Anthony Scaramucci of hedge fund Skybridge Capital.
The story tells how SBF bought a $45 million stake in Skybridge, and how Scaramucci invested $10 million of it in FTT, the native token of the bankrupt exchange.
FTX’s collapse in November made this investment nearly worthless.
During SBF’s talks with officials in Dubai, crypto king Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, founder of Binance and rival of SBF.
Mooch had not attended these meetings, but his Skybridge colleague was there and had reported the misconduct to him.
SBF and CZ have long had a personal rivalry. At one point, while FTX was in trouble but still operating, Binance offered to bail out FTX with a $1 billion acquisition.
However, Binance backed out of the deal a day after doing due diligence on the company. “The issues are beyond our control or our ability to help,” Binance said at the time.
Hillman also denied on Twitter that the animosity between SBF and CZ caused Binance to back out of the bailout or divest FTT.
“It was the norm for us to have Sam denigrated CZ,” he said. “It had nothing to do with deciding to sell the worthless FTT on the company’s books,” he stated.
