Do you remember the SBF case that shocked everyone in 2022? Well, the more details emerge about the investments he made before the collapse, the more outrageous it becomes. If that portfolio hadn't been frozen by authorities, we're talking about something close to $80 billion in value.

The most impressive part is the bet on AI. SBF invested $500 million in Anthropic when almost no one was talking about generative AI at the level we do today. With the boom in the sector, this equity stake would be worth around $70 billion according to current valuations. It's like having bought Bitcoin when nobody believed in it.

But it wasn't just AI. He had accumulated about 60 million in SOL when the coin was around $8. At its all-time high, that was worth $2.1 billion. Today, SOL is around $85, so you can imagine the size of that position. Additionally, he invested $100 million in Mysten Labs, the team developing the Sui blockchain, which now has a valuation above $800 million.

In the traditional world, SBF also held about 7.5% of Robinhood's shares. That alone would be worth around $10 billion at today's prices.

Now, here’s where the story gets dark. All of this was frozen in 2022 when FTX collapsed. Authorities seized everything because they discovered SBF was diverting customer funds to finance these risky transactions and his personal investments. He was convicted for this.

The interesting point is that it wasn't exactly a lack of investment vision. The guy clearly understood opportunities. The real problem was zero risk management and completely ignoring regulatory limits. Basically, he bet everything thinking he would get away with it.
