I bet he had a blast. Disney Tokyo was opened in 1973 so about 8 years after.

His parents are professor of law at Stanford. Wozniak is Cal Berkeley grad.
Maybe his parent helped him get into MIT by getting him prepared for that like prep school and other activities.
That he babbles or doesn’t code is really not relevant.

The difference is that SBF completed a degree in physics and mathematics. I don’t know about you, but MIT is a difficult school to get admitted, attend, and complete.
Wharton would accept about 40% of applicants in the mid 1960s when he attended. Today it about 7%. Plus he transferred with help of a family friend from Fordham.
So, in the academic achievement field of both, SBF may have an edge over DJT.
Your statement about what said is incorrect. Don’t conflate both arguments.
Both went graduated from prestigious unis and both are alleged to have committed crime or in the process of being investigated.
So, what?
SBF created a crypto exchange. I think that’s difficult to do. Made billions and was allegedly found to be committing irregularities where he’s now being investigated and indicted.
DJT made a lot of money in land and hotel development and got elected president. Both are hard to do.
Who knows if their prestigious degrees led them or helped or caused their success or downfall.
Many of the graduates do similar things in life after graduating from or attending prestigious unis. Some don’t finish, like Bill Gates and Harvard.
Obama went to Columbia and Harvard Law and he became president.
Putin attended Saint Petersburg Mining University, Sgoil 281 (whatever that is). And, there you go.
A degree is not pedigree but it opens opportunities for some.

I’m not sure why you’re conflating both.
In this Philly Mag article it states he earned a degree BS in real estate by Ron Ozio media director at Penn.
All graduates from Penn Wharton get a Bachelors is Science in Economics. Trump concentrated in real estate.

He got a degree in real estate. A bachelor of science.
I’m not really seeing what you’re arguing here. It doesn’t matter if he’s an economic genius.
By the way he spent 2-years at Fordham and the transferred to Penn. I believe he was anthropology major at Fordham.

Actually his degree is in real estate. He didn’t get a MBA
He’s a developer that took over and expanded his father business.

He got a degree in physics and minored in math from MIT. It’s arguably the top STEM school in the world. Maybe he thought he was invincible.
His one time girlfriend Caroline, said you only needed basic math to run FTX.

I agree that was a large part and thinking he could do whatever.
He was a massive barrel of dicks. Now he may do a couple of decades sleeping in a cage.

lol. The dude went to MIT and was a math wizard. That said, he built FTX and it was a money machine.
He goofed it up. Had he built a structure with proper controls and departments and corporate governance, then it would have a different outcome
