Good morning, readers. I’m Diamond Naga Siu, and I enjoy some of Taylor Swift’s music but definitely don’t consider myself a Swiftie. I do, however, find myself enchanted by her financial knowledge.Unlike some of my faves (Naomi Osaka and Shaquille O’Neal), Swift knew the infamous crypto exchange FTX was trouble when it walked in.She asked if the company was selling unregistered securities (which is typically illegal, by the way — here’s what it means).
