Without a doubt this is one of the most shocking and nearly impossible to comprehend scandals in history.
Sam and FTX have gone from the darling of the US crypto scene to the poster children of financial crimes. They defrauded their own financial auditors and bookkeepers to the point where no one could track or understand the realities of the financial world within FTX.
Since filming this video even more insane revelations have come to light, including that FTX made personal loans to Sam and other cofounders of Alameda to the tune of over $4 Billion…
The sheer audacity of the scam boggles the mind. The ability to fool the “best and brightest” silicon valley investors, gain meaningful brand partnerships and more… it’s all just hard to comprehend to a degree.
I too fell for the shine of FTX and believed in their hype. I feel extremely embarrassed by this and will be completely reevaluating my content going forward.
I relied on a litany of external research to assemble this work, including amazing folks on twitter:
– Dylan LeClair
– CZ Binance
– Public statements from SBF
– and an epic thread from “milky eggs” dot com
