➡️ Gabe Bankman-Fried, a former lobbyist for FTX & Sam's younger brother, tried to buy the island of Nauru w/ FTX funds. #crypto
The goal: Construct an 'apocalypse bunker' & laboratory to repopulate the planet with genetically modified, elite human beings.
"Gabe's plan was to 'purchase the sovereign nation of Nauru in order to construct a 'bunker/shelter' that would be used for 'some event where 50%-99.99% of people die [to] ensure that most EAs [effective altruists] survive.'" 👀
There is currently a population of 13,000 on Nauru.
The government of Nauru confirmed that the country was never up for sale. 😑$BTC #crypto2023
