A few weeks ago I took some notes on tech bro crypto billionaires. The notes are a mashup of Wikipedia, etc. Arthur Hayes calls himself a billionaire but I have no idea if that's even remotely true.
Brian Armstrong (born January 25, 1983) is an American business executive and investor who is CEO of cryptocurrency platform Coinbase. He received media attention for his policy of keeping the workplace free of political activism.
He fired a bunch of people in September, 2020. But I never got around to taking notes on that.
Samuel Bankman-Fried (born March 6, 1992) is known by his initials SBF. is an American entrepreneur. He is the founder and CEO of FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange. He also manages assets through Alameda Research, a quantitative cryptocurrency trading firm he founded in October 2017.
Arthur Hayes (born 1985) is a co-founder of Bit MEX, which pioneered the most popular—and riskiest—products in crypto. BitMex is based in Seychelles. Hayes is based in Hong Kong. In October 2020, Hayes stepped down as CEO of BitMEX.
Section: "legal issues in the United States".
Many outsiders reckon he painted a bullseye on his own back. In 2016 he said Bit MEX's strategy was focused on "removed gamblers"; at the time the firm targeted potential customers based in America, boasting that to "sign up takes less than 30 seconds". Asked about why Bit MEX was legally domiciled in the Seychelles in 2019, he noted that bribing American regulators costs more and that the archipelago's price had been "a coconut".
Mr. Hayes is charming, muscular and good on TV.
In 2018 he arrived at a crypto trade show in an orange Lamborghini, tweeting later to his throngs of followers, "Did you see my ride today?" He skis in Hokkaido, plays squash in Hong Kong's amateur league, practises yoga daily and has just taken up kiteboarding. He wears tightfitting T-shirts and luxury watches.
Changpeng Zhao ("CZ") was born in 1977. He is a Chinese-Canadian business executive. Zhao is the founder and CEO of Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume as of April 2018. CZ was born in Jiangsu, China and moved to Canada at a young age with his family.
