Reporting on cryptocurrency is absolutely abysmal.
Over the years I have had reporters contact me, telling me that they have Sam Bankman-Fried coming on to interview, and they ask me for some good questions for him.

I provided multiple reporters with absolutely nuclear questions that would have completely annihilated Sam Bankman-Fried. Questions that would have made his fraud obvious.
The questions were never asked. The reporters were afraid that if they asked those questions, they wouldn’t get another “exclusive” interview opportunity.
They wouldn’t have needed one.

When I asked one reporter why they didn’t ask any of the nuclear questions, they said they didn’t want to “go in for the kill”.
So reporters not asking the real questions played an important role in allowing the FTX fraud to fester.

The same problem exists today with the Bitfinex/Tether fraud. Except they’re at least smart enough to never do interviews.
