Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, had prepared a tweet thread in September 2022 announcing the closure of Alameda Research, the sister firm of FTX. The draft tweet thread, titled "'We Came. We Saw. We Researched,'" revealed that Bankman-Fried planned to shut down Alameda due to the burden of "FUD" (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) surrounding Alameda's relationship with FTX. The unpublished tweets were discovered by CoinDesk reporter Shaurya Malwa. This revelation suggests that Bankman-Fried had considered closing Alameda months before the collapse of FTX.
