Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

In the latest swirl of high-profile crypto drama Sam Bankman-Fried suddenly blasted back onto social media after months of total silence where his X account posted the cryptic greeting gm short for good morning. This surprise move set the crypto world ablaze with speculation nostalgia and indignation. According to Coinpedia and U Today the post wasn’t written by SBF himself—who is currently serving a 25-year federal prison sentence in Los Angeles for fraud and conspiracy related to the catastrophic FTX collapse—but by a friend managing the account, as confirmed in his X bio.

Still that didn’t stop the tweet from racking up millions of views within hours. Veteran crypto personalities like Robert Leshner pounced reminding everyone that SBF stole customer funds tanked the industry and set back crypto regulation by years. Meanwhile on-chain sleuth ZachXBT dropped a harsh reality check highlighting that FTX creditors aren’t truly whole because payouts are pegged to 2022 asset prices—years before the recent market surge—meaning victims get far less than today’s market value. Delaware courts recently approved a $1.6 billion payout kicking off September 30 with payments routing through BitGo Kraken and Payoneer. US creditors are slated to get a 40 percent payout this round bumping their total recovery to an impressive 95 percent according to a statement released by the FTX bankruptcy estate.

But the real ripple came when the FTT token—the digital chip of FTX—went vertical soaring over 50 percent to briefly hit $1.20 after SBF’s social account lit up. Trading volumes exploded yet the price retraced as reality sank in. Even so the psychological legacy of SBF lingers. Behavioral finance experts at AInvest note how his rise and fall carved deep scars on investor psyche catalyzing regulation shake-ups and market caution. Any rumor or headline involving SBF still moves markets and stirs up raw emotion across crypto enthusiasts and skeptics.

Rumors have swirled about whether the recent burst of activity signals a new pardon push but for now there’s no confirmed clemency bid in play only ongoing legal appeals with the next big date set for November 4. As usual SBF’s mere digital presence—even remotely managed—proves just how magnetic the fallen founder remains, with every moment scrutinized for possible comeback narratives, market drama, or the next twist in the long FTX saga.
