$32 Billion 5th Largest Crypto Exchange FTX Files for Bankruptcy & $500 Million Hacked After Bankruptcy, Investors Include SoftBank, Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital, Singapore Temasek, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, Gisele Bündchen & Naomi Osaka

FTX Sam Bankman-Fried

12th November 2022 – The 5th largest crypto exchange (FTX)with $626 billion trading volume in 2022, had filed for bankruptcy (10/11/22) and newly appointed CEO John Ray III released in a Twitter statement that FTX had been hacked (reports estimate $400 million to $600 million hacked) after bankruptcy.  FTX depositors expected to lose billions in crypto deposits with the bankruptcy, and at the same time triggering law-enforcement investigations and potential criminal charges.  With FTX digital currency (FTT) collapsing and with Binance & Founder Changpeng Zhao learning of Sam Bankman-Fried trading firm (Alameda Research) assets is mainly made up of FTT, Binance started liquidating FTT, that quickly triggered a global selloff.  FTX Founder & Chairman Sam Bankman-Fried who had resigned at the bankruptcy, had tried to engineer a $8 billion to $9.4 billion bailout from investors including from Elon Musk and biggest competitor & top crypto exchange Binance & Founder Changpeng Zhao but failed.  Binance: “As a result of corporate due diligence, as well as the latest news reports regarding mishandled customer funds and alleged U.S. agency investigations, we have decided that we will not pursue the potential acquisition of FTX.com … … In the beginning, our hope was to be able to support FTX’s customers to provide liquidity, but the issues are beyond our control or ability to help. Every time a major player in an industry fails, retail consumers will suffer. We have seen over the last several years that the crypto ecosystem is becoming more resilient and we believe in time that outliers that misuse user funds will be weeded out by the free market.”  US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen: “It shows the weakness of this entire sector … … The notion that you could use the deposits of customers of an exchange and lend them to a separate enterprise that you control to do leveraged, risky investments – that wouldn’t be something that’s allowed.”  FTX is a crypto exchange and pays depositors high interest rate to attract deposits.  The top 5 largest crypto exchange before FTX banktrupcy are Binance, OKX, UpBit, Coinbase & FTX.  See below for more info including Elon Musk, and investors in FTX.
