NYT, Bloomberg and WSJ are seeking to DOXX every single user of FTX. To this effect, they have filed a motion to intervene, seeking disallow redacting of the names of 1 million plus users of FTX.
Whats funny is they are not even a party to the proceedings. These media companies NYT/WSJ are not either creditors, nor debitors nor involved anyhow in the proceedings. Yet they have filed a motion to disallow redaction of personal information of FTX customers.
If this motion is allowed, potentially the names and address and holdings of every single FTX users could be available freely on the web. After already losing their money to FTX, they could now be the target of scammers and fraudsters. This is a huge privacy invasion any which way you look at it – but not for these media houses who tried the very best to cover up SBF’s crimes, and now that is done, they are seeking to further harm the same customers who SBF robbed dry.
This is the WSJ that gave “foot massages to a criminal”
Now the same WSJ wants to doxx users?
And this is how NYT covered SBF: “He is a human who made poor choices”
Yeah, just a poor human who stole customers deposits and diverted that into every other scheme that came across his desk..
Suddenly they are pretending to be such a big fighter for the truth that they want all the names out in public and unredacted.
The moral of the story is that if you use a KYC exchange, your personal information could potentially be made available in a public document.
