that he was attracted to the country’s friendlier regulation and less-stringent Covid restrictions than Hong Kong, where it had been located.

The company started buying luxury residential properties, too, making “a big splash in a small pond” of the island market, said Boeuf, who wasn’t involved in any of the transactions but has spoken to agents who were. Only some of the property purchases have surfaced publicly, including at least $74.

FTX also made efforts to build local roots.
