Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried insisted the U.S. arm of his crypto empire was “FINE!” after the company’s utility token collapsed — right up until FTX.US filed for bankruptcy on Friday morning.
“FTX US USERS ARE FINE!” Bankman-Fried wrote (написано) in a series of tweets on Thursday. "FTX US, the US-based exchange that accepts Americans, was not financially impacted by this shitshow.”
A day later, Bankman-Fried resigned his post as CEO, and FTX.US filed for bankruptcy in Delaware. FTX announced it had moved to file for Chapter 11, along with more than 100 of its affiliated corporate entities, including Bankman-Fried’s Alameda Research trading firm.
The shocking collapse of the crypto exchange began last weekend when rival exchange Binance announced it would sell a large position of FTX’s utility token, FTT. Bankman-Fried insisted his company was “fine” on Monday, but by Tuesday the firm was in turmoil. Портпарол ФТКС-а је одбио да коментарише.
Even as Bankman-Fried acknowledged the international arm of his company was facing trouble, he assured users of FTX.US throughout the week that the entity was not impacted. The former CEO said he was “shocked” by what had happened on Friday, after announcing FTX.US would file for bankruptcy.
“I’m piecing together all of the details, but I was shocked to see things unravel the way they did earlier this week,” Bankman-Fried саид он Твиттер.
