“If Sam Bankman-Fried isn’t lying, crypto is in trouble.” If “systematic incompetence” was the reason behind FTX’s implosion, “it’s perhaps more damaging to the industry’s ambitions than if its problems were caused by premeditating Madoff-like criminals who could be brought to justice.”

“To keep commerce going with China, Japan’s most important Asian trading partner, Mr. Abe has to stop rubbing raw the wounds of World War II. That includes not visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, where war criminals from that conflict are honored. Nor should his government divert budget resources into military muscle flexing. Pushing into these politically contentious areas would erode the economic progress and promise of stable political leadership Mr. Abe has just worked so hard to achieve.”
