How a scoop by a little-known crypto site led to the fall of Sam Bankman-Fried and implosion of FTX

The staggering level of apparent deception staged by former crypto king Sam Bankman-Fried wasn’t uncovered by government investigators or a major powerhouse financial news organization, such as The Wall Street Journal. Instead, the public’s first glimpse of the alleged wrongdoing by Bankman-Fried — known to insiders as SBF — came earlier this month from a small news site unknown to much of the public that has spent years chronicling the turbulent and murky world of crypto: CoinDesk.

” Over the next couple of days, Baker, from a home office in New York, worked with Allison, who lives in Scotland, to “chisel down” the financial document into a story. On November 2, they hit publish on the explosive report, quickly capturing the attention of the crypto world and shaking the foundation of the mighty exchange FTX. SBF, the prolific tweeter, was noticeably silent. “It was something that struck us all internally,” Baker recalled to me.

Because he was dumping money into the well known news orgs that could have exposed him months ago? Is that how it happened? It's CNN so I'm physically incapable of clicking the link

CNN should be taken down with Bankman. You clowns have facilitated all of this outrageous corruption with blatant dishonesty and your blanket support of leftist lawlessness. Good job,CNN! 🏆

Why hasn’t SBF been arrested yet?

It was a fraud....... He stole money from his clients

No, I think it was the fraud

Kudos to Coindesk

Maybe little known by CNN :-)

Why isn't he in prison & Ukraine & Biden being audited, yet?

Lol he is still speaking at a Washington post or new York times even on 11/30. They are still propping this con up.

Democrats cheat
