In the weeks since Sam Bankman-Fried's cryptocurrency empire was revealed to be a house of lies, mainstream news organizations and commentators have often failed to give their readers a straightforward assessment of exactly what happened.

"As part of this analysis, a syntax error caused the bot to stop sending commands, effectively killing the botnet."
