Imagine if you were an employee at this company with access to these keys. They're so disorganized, you could have stolen tens or millions of dollars in crypto and even right now after auditors have gone through everything, still no one would know you had done it. That anyone had done it.

How ethical are you really? Could you actually resist that temptation? Do you think all your co-workers could too?

What a fiasco.



Yeah? Being well compensated makes it much, much easier to resist temptation.

Plus the nagging suspicion that you'd fuck up or never be able to use it in a meaningful fashion.

I'm not saying I'd be surprised if some one took advantage, but I don't think it would be most folks natural inclination.


Exactly. If you have the skills to get hired at a place like FTX, a below-the-radar amount like ten million dollars isn’t an utterly life-changing amount of money. Not something worth risking years of freedom.


That's most probably what occurred during the "hack" that FTX experienced shortly after entering bankruptcy.
