Billy Markus, who is known as a co-founder of the popular meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin – it was created by him in collaboration with Jackson Palmer and launched in 2013 as a parody on the flagship digital currency Bitcoin.

Now, Markus is an active Twitter/X user and a pen-pal of Elon Musk on the same social media platform, unlike Palmer, who tweets very seldom and in a critic of the Tesla CEO. Markus has taken to Twitter to share a curious and perhaps (shocking to some) fact about the founder of FTX – the bankrupt crypto exchange created by Sam Bankman-Fried. SBF planned to buy an island, survive and apocalypse and enhance the mankind genetically on a “sensible” scale.

이제 Markus는 Twitter/X를 적극적으로 사용하고 있으며 동일한 소셜 미디어 플랫폼에서 Elon Musk의 펜팔입니다. Palmer는 트윗을 거의 하지 않고 Tesla CEO를 비판합니다. Markus는 Sam Bankman-Fried가 설립한 파산 암호화폐 거래소인 FTX의 창립자에 대한 호기심 많고 어쩌면 (일부 충격적인) 사실을 공유하기 위해 트위터를 방문했습니다. SBF는 섬을 구입하고, 생존하고 종말을 맞이하며 "합리적인" 규모로 인류를 유전적으로 향상시킬 계획이었습니다.

SBF looked to buy Nauru Island to build survival bunker 

SBF는 생존 벙커를 건설하기 위해 나우루 섬을 인수하려고 했습니다.

Before his brainchild FTX exchange collapsed, the young crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried planned to acquire the Nauri Island with a whole nation living on it. He did it out of security concerns, since apparently SBF expected the human civilization to collapse in the near future. He was unable to predict the collapse of FTX, though.

did you know that SBF wanted to buy the island of nauru for himself and his EA friends and make a giant bunker there in case the world ended? 🤣 pic.twitter.com/VUCB2IGEt6

Therefore, the acquisition of the island was his survival plan for FTX and his own trading firm Alameda Research and their staffers, according to the court filings in a federal bankruptcy court in Delaware in late July.

따라서 7월 말 델라웨어 연방 파산 법원에 제출된 법원 서류에 따르면 섬 인수는 FTX와 자신의 무역 회사인 Alameda Research 및 그 직원을 위한 그의 생존 계획이었다고 합니다.

The memo written by SBF’s brother Gabriel Bankman-Fried (who was also a high-ranked FTX Foundation official) says that the plan was to acquire the Nauru island and build a “bunker/shelter” in case an event may happen that will destroy a significant part of the population (e.g., a massive fire or flood). Among those who that bunker was planned for were members of the effective altruism movement.

In that bunker, the survivors led by SBF wanted to potentially create a lab and establish “sensible regulation around human genetic enhancement”.

Here’s comes intriguing part why SBF chose Nauri Island

SBF가 나우리섬을 선택한 흥미로운 이유는 다음과 같습니다.

Nauri is the smallest island state in the world with several times in its history when money-laundering activities were conducted there. Thus, this particular choice of a location for SBF’s “bunker” adds a flavor of intrigue to this story.

According to the court filings, Bankman-Fried himself was accused to defrauding FTX customers of roughly $8 billion in cryptocurrencies they held in the platform’s wallets.

법원 서류에 따르면 Bankman-Fried 자신은 FTX 고객이 플랫폼 지갑에 보유한 암호화폐 약 80억 달러를 사취한 혐의로 기소되었습니다.

Thus, the actions of SBF do not seem to match the concept of effective altruism, which implies that a group of people accumulates wealth to help those who are underprivileged and his survival plan raises ethical concerns, as well as questions whether he indeed wanted to accumulate a large wealth to help the less privileged.

SBF knew how to save FTX, John Deaton claims

John Deaton은 SBF가 FTX를 구하는 방법을 알고 있었다고 주장합니다.

Founder of Crypto-Law.US and a vocal Ripple/XRP advocate John Deaton is a harsh SBF critic. In a recent tweet, he stated that now “crypto is back in full swing again”.

Deaton stated that if Bankman-Friend had not filed for FTX’s bankruptcy and managed to raise enough money (or provide his own funds) to “stop the bleeding” of the FTX platform, he would have managed to save his business and himself from prison.

Deaton은 Bankman-Friend가 FTX의 파산 신청을 하지 않고 FTX 플랫폼의 "출혈을 멈추기"에 충분한 돈을 모으거나 자신의 자금을 제공했다면 자신의 사업과 자신을 감옥에서 구할 수 있었을 것이라고 말했습니다.
