In High School, SBF Reportedly Printed $100 Bills With His Face on Them Called "Bankmans"

Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of FTX, is currently in custody and facing criminal charges.

Bankman- Fried was the face of the senior prank, according to a source. SBF's classmates at a prep school in the Bay Area put his face on fake $100 bills as a senior prank and called them "Bankmans."

The Great Puzzle Hunt is described on the game's website as a scavenger hunt adventure with puzzles. The younger brother of Bankman- Fried was described as more outgoing.

There's more to the tea, too. "effective altruism" is a branch of philanthropic thinking that aims to leverage targeted charitable giving to do the greatest good, and Barbara Fried and Joe Bankman were fond of discussing it with their children. The New York Times reported on the family's relationship to effective altruism.

One source who knows the parents personally asked if consequentialism or effective altruism was looming in the background because of the ends justifying the means. It's possible that SBF had first-class brains at home.

The fake $100 bills anecdote is an extraordinary background for a figure accused of creating his own digital currency and trying to sell it to the highest bidder. SBF has a penchant for spouting off at the mouth.

We don't know which way is up or down, which is one of the reasons we're still so into it.

SBF and Ellison were accused of having a secret group chat.
