Cryptocurrency exchange FTX CEO apologizes as SEC investigates company

The Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission are probing whether FTX CEO and founder Sam Bankman-Fried used customers' crypto deposits to fund bets at his Alameda Research hedge fund.

Bankman-Fried asked investors for more than $8 billion to cover withdrawals as customers tried to exit the FTX cryptocurrency exchange. "It's already having a very negative impact for sure," said Borys Polushko who works in the cryptocurrency sector. Polushko was part of a "crypto and karaoke" meetup at Dimple's bar in San Francisco Thursday night.

Ludgate and others at the meetup remain optimistic, however, that the entire cryptocurrency sector will turn out to be viable in the long run.

Crypto is/was a scam.

Does anyone still think a digital currency is still good? Just look at what happened when people gave this guy money. Would you trust the government with your paycheck?
