“You’d think right now I couldn’t sleep at all, whereas I’m getting some sleep, It could have been worse,” Bankman-Fried told the Times.
Bankman-Fried said the stock’s margin position was “much bigger than I thought,” but didn’t give any further details other than to say it’s billions of dollars. He declined to comment on his current position.
“Entrepreneurship jobs were probably not worth it given the interest shown,” Bankman-Fried told the Times.
He added that he is working constructively with regulators, bankruptcy officials and the company to try to do what is best for consumers.
When asked if he trusted a small group of his close colleagues too much, Bankman-Fried said, “Realistically speaking, I don’t think anyone can have close contact and close contact with more than 15 people.”
Bankman-Fried also said he is no longer romantically involved with Alameda Research head Caroline Ellison, but declined to comment further.
The New York Times reported that the SBF refused to talk about the possibility of Elison going to jail, but said he was using his time playing the video game Storybook Brawl.
“It helps me unwind a little, it clears my mind,” he said.
He didn’t reveal a series of cryptic tweets he’d posted over the past two days, saying he just made it up as he went.
“I don’t know, I’m improvising,” he said.
