Tiffany Fong announced He mentioned that he had met with the SBF and had not yet written anything when he tweeted about his discussion with the SBF on December 28.

The Post also used a photo of Fong in a bikini, and when the article was published, Fong was not happy with the image. “Jesus Christ,” Fong he saidshare the article.
Fong too in detail In an interview with SBF, she said she was “obviously not wearing a bikini,” and The Post said she “decided to crawl.” [through her] old photos.” In addition to The Post, the Daily Mail also published an article about her visit, and Fong said that Daily Mail reporters were not happy with The Post’s use of a trivial old bikini photo.

“[Tiffany Fong] He made great gains while tirelessly covering FTX,” Lorenz he tweeted. “He is respected by leading tech/financial journalists at Wapo, NYT, etc. What she does is journalism, but because she’s a young woman (and uses the internet to reach her audience), that’s how the media treats her.”

Michael Lewis actually “spent a few hours” with Sam Bankman-Fried before I did. Michael Lewis is sexualized [and] was bombarded with questions ‘struck?’
The article featuring Lewis and published by The New York Post is quite different from Fong’s and does not show Lewis in swimsuits or speedos. The Post’s editorial about Lewis is quite similar to many of the articles about the “Big Short,” “Moneyball” and “Flash Boys” writer who spent six months with SBF before FTX broke up.
In an article in The Post, Lewis’s “publishing agency [is] Presentation of the book to potential film rights buyers’ and sales reports were made public long before SBF was arrested.

In The Post’s article, the authors detailed that Fong later noted that he was on SBF’s computer during the pair’s discussion.
