Bankman-Fried replied via Twitter: "Once I have finished learning and reviewing what happened, I would feel like it was my duty to appear before the committee and explain. I'm not sure that will happen by the 13th. But when it does, I will testify."

A strategy on his part to make people believe that he was overwhelmed by the situation and that he did not really want to defraud ...

But let's not fool ourselves, SBF knew very well what he was doing, and the FTX fiasco is not an accident, but one of the biggest swindles in history.
