On the 14th November, SBF_FTX tweeted a mysterious thread, the first tweet of which was "1) What" and the second of which was "2) H".
This resolves at the reason why it happened, out of the options posted to the market before the reason becomes publicly known. If it's covered by multiple options on the market, resolves at the most specific one.

> oh, maybe there are deleted tweet bots that you can fool by posting a new tweet at exactly the same time you delete one. that explains his thread

oh shit so the bot has actually missed the last 7 that he deleted bc of this trick?
@BenGoldhaber That makes a lot more sense. Though I'm confused about why there were so few tweets in his recent thread, and why they were so far apart temporally.
I'm going to flag this market as improperly resolved, at least until we have a better idea of what happened. This should not have been resolved so hastily based solely on a vague and confusing NYT article quote.
Shortly before the interview, Mr. Bankman-Fried had posted a cryptic tweet: the word “What.” Then he had tweeted the letter H. Asked to explain, Mr. Bankman-Fried said he planned to post the letter A and then the letter P. “It’s going to be more than one word,” he said. “I’m making it up as I go.”
So he was planning a series of cryptic tweets? “Something like that.”
But why? “I don’t know,” he said. “I’m improvising. I think it’s time.”
I'm not convinced this is actually trolling. I don't know his personality very well, but that doesn't seem in keeping with his past behavior, such as his recent apology thread.
@IsaacKing Even weirder than the thread to me is that his lawyers would let him talk to the Times at this time.
