I feel pretty confused by this and would love better estimates of the actual amount of money that was “lost” in the FTX situation. It seems plausible to me (though not likely) that it’s above $8B, since a lot of people made plans conditional on FTX being legitimate in a way that now wiped out a lot of economic gains, and the long-term trust that was lost in the markets was worth more than $8B.
My best guess number for this is something in the $3-4B range, but that’s really very much an ass-number.
