I would’ve expected this from the Washington Post, but et tu, WSJ?
From @WSJopinion: FTX failed because Sam Bankman-Fried’s supporters lost confidence in him. That may be how Donald Trump finally crashes and burns too, writes @AllysiaFinley. https://t.co/d6RiJUrRpi

How and why this relates to Trump? A pretty big reach, WSJ.
There is a reader fact check on WSJ’s tweet, which gives me the glees.

Yeah. So the connection to Trump is a pretty bizarre flex on the WSJ’s part.
There was reaction.
Yeah umm … that is definitely not the reason it failed

He ran a multibillion dollar Ponzi scheme and got caught. What is wrong with these never trump people?

This could be one of the worst takes on SBF's fraud I've seen yet. FTX "failed" because it was blatant fraud and not because of some bogus "no confidence" vote🤦♂️

In their defense they at least put it in the opinion section. Sadly it’s very poorly hidden propaganda but when your sheeple base just needs reinforcement of “orange man bad” then accuracy and quality are non issues.
FTX failed because it was the largest Ponzi scheme in recorded history. The only similarity I can see is to Bernie Madoff or Enron who no longer take the top spot anymore. What’s happened at WSJ that they squander their reputation to line birdcage bottoms similar to WaPo and NYT?
