SBF drafted tweets to prepare for the closure of Alameda starting last September

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, based on the testimony of FTX co-founder Gary Wang, SBF drafted a series of tweets (unpublished) two months before the FTX collapse (September 2022), planning to announce the closure of Alameda Research while he was considering the future of Alameda.

In the draft tweets, SBF referred to Alameda Research as his "greatest success, even if a brief failure." The failure SBF referred to was Alameda losing millions of dollars worth of XRP tokens. In the draft tweets, SBF pointed fingers at his competitors, stating that the claims of Alameda and FTX being too closely linked were "mainly spread by FTX's competitors, who were trying to divert attention from their own issues." Gary Wang also stated that SBF ultimately did not close Alameda Research because the company owed FTX $14 billion.
