published on the website of Temasek Holdings on Monday morning , chairman Lim Boon Heng said that compensation had been reduced for the investment team and senior management responsible for the investment decisions made concerning failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
FTX, once the third biggest cryptocurrency exchange around the globe, had been worth nearly S$44 billion in January of last year butAccording to a report from Forbes, Temasek, which is owned by the government of Singapore, had a one per cent stake in FTX. By Nov 17, Temasek issued a statement saying it would be writing down its investment in the company worth US$275 million To write down an asset is to reduce its value for tax and accounting purposes, but it still retains some value. It is not the same as writing off an asset, which negates its present and future value.
The note said that an independent team conducted an internal review of the FTX investment and presented the findings to the Board Risk & Sustainability Committee and our Board.
Mr Lim underlined that the company was “disappointed with the outcome of our investment, and the negative impact on our reputation” and noted that there had been “fraudulent conduct intentionally hidden from investors…as alleged by prosecutors and as admitted by key executives at FTX and its affiliates.” /TISG
