They can’t give Tom Brady his time back.



Of the people stolen from, Tom Brady losing a day filming commercials is pretty low on the list of things I care about.

Like he got paid $X for his endorsement. I would prefer that money go to the people whose life savings were stolen.


Is it really Tom Brady's responsibility to vet each and every one of his commercial offers? That seems unsustainable. He would have needed some pretty intimate knowledge of the crypto world along with the inner workings of FTX to know that it was a fraud. To me it seems like placing too much responsibility on people who shouldn't bear that responsibility.


This has nothing to do with knowing it was fraud or impending bankruptcy which has nothing to do with having a bankruptcy court claw back money given to you in preference of others. This is like Brady getting a bad check. So he doesn't get paid for acting. A lot of other people didn't get paid what they were owed.


Your sibling comment says this:

> Didn't exactly that happen, didn't Tom Brady put his life savings in FTX? :/

Which makes your comment seem funny or sad, depending on how you look at things.


I'm sure he has a PR person, agent, manager, etc.

So yes it is their responsibility.


Didn't exactly that happen, didn't Tom Brady put his life savings in FTX? :/
