All Of My Friends Were Enamored By The Guy Who Handed Out Million Dollar Bills To Us

McargleBargle ends her column on SBF with this:

But the story of FTX should also trigger some deep soul-searching among the rest of us. In a better world, people would not behave so irresponsibly — but nor would it be possible for someone this stupid to accumulate the kind of money and political influence that accrued to Bankman-Fried.

"That accrued to." How did that happen, Megs? Just walking along, accruing stuff from the easiest marks on the planet - our glorious pundits.

Earlier in the piece:

So was Bankman-Fried dumb or dishonest? A report from the FTX bankruptcy proceeding suggests that we might have to embrace the healing power of “both.”

Indeed Megan, I must embrace the healing power of "both" every time I read one of your columns.

It really was precisely Megan's peer/friend group who were providing SBF with his DC PR.

It wasn't "the rest of us" you twit.
