Sam no longer has control of the company. John Ray III is currently the CEO, after being appointed by the brankruptcy court. Currently he is responsible for identifying what FTX's assets and liabilities are, determining where funds were misused/unlawfully disbursed, getting them back, and using them to pay back FTX's creditors.

It should be noted that some of those misused/unlawfully disbursed funds include a payout to SBF's father that is now being used to pay for Sam's legal costs.

This is the court-appointed management clawng back money so that they can pay creditors, including people who were defrauded by FTX & Bankman-Fried. Many of these companies and people will not see anything if the bankruptcy estate doesn't get it back from those who unlawfully enriched themselves from FTX's accounts.

He should have sued for defamation. Make them prove in court what he said was false _and_ harmful.

First of all, they didn't comment publicly on him. They simply suspended his account. No defamation; the case would be dismissed.

Even if they had publicly commented on his lies, the fact that what he said was both false and harmful is so easy to demonstrate and so irrefutable that even in a "legitimate" defamation case a summary judgement would be easy to attain. This is why scumbags like Mercola have never sued any of the people debunking them for defamation: a court ruling that they are spreading harmful lies would make it harder to grift gullible people.

The evil of these anti-vax propagandists goes beyond COVID. They're responsible for multiple measels outbreaks that occured before 2020 - in 2019 there were nearly 1,300 cases in 31 states. It's just that other than a few attempts at articles and videos debunking their lies, there was no attempt to stop them prior to COVID-19.

Despite the delusions of Nazi idiots, masks and vaccines had a huge impact on the spread and fatality rate of COVID-19. And they would have had a much larger impact if not for all the politicized misinformation designed to discourage people away from them.

This can be easily observed in the excess death rate data. After the vaccines were released, the excess death rates of Republicans was 43% higher than that of Democrats, and the higher death rates were concentrated in areas with low vaccination rates.

The TSA hasn't stopped a single hijacking or bombing attempt in the entire time it's existed. Every plot has been foiled either in the planning stages by law enforcement or during implementation by passengers and flight crew. The only success the TSA has to show for itself is the confiscation of various weapons that would have been detected with the security system we had before 9/11.
