Assuming 6% returns on his remaining $900 million invested in index funds, he’d be a billionaire again in two years doing nothing.

Not as fun admittedly as gambling, but commas are commas. Wealth is sticky is this comment’s thesis.

Not if the DoJ makes him forfeit his money for fraud:

My suggestion is for Mr. SBF to check out /r/fatFIRE to get some tips from people who are in the know.

Appropriately enough, the one investing path that community will not recommend is crypto

Nobody I know is assuming 6% returns over the next two years! Hope I'm wrong.

6% is easy when treasuries yield 4.5. Nominally that’s 0 with inflation

I am very interested where I can get investment return 6%. The best I can see is CD from Schwab at 4.85%

Probably short term high yield bonds. You’ll need to assume more risk to get that extra 1-2%. CD and treasury is 0 risk so if you want more that you need to assume risk premium.

Where can I get these bonds?

series I bonds yield almost 7%. Used to be above 9.5%.

That's limited to $10k per SSN per year. That's not viable for any material investment.

It's invested in Robinhood lmao. Check out their 1 year

He bought after HOOD crashed, though. AFAICT, his stake is still green.[1]
