abc.net.au/news/ftx-crypto-collapse-sam-bankman-fried/101641992The chief executive of cryptocurrency exchange FTX has taken to social media to say he was at fault after revealing the company's swift and sudden downfall.
However, it was not clear whether he would be able to raise the funds he needed and whether those investors would participate. Mr Bankman-Fried said in tweets and a memo to employees seen by Reuters that he was in talks with "a number of players" in the crypto sector, including Mr Sun, after a potential rescue deal with larger rival Binance fell apart.He also said his trading firm, Alameda Research — which sources have said was partly behind FTX's problems — was winding down trading.Sam Bankman-Fried says he will step down if necessary.
"The first time, a poor internal labelling of bank-related accounts meant that I was substantially off on my sense of users' margin. I thought it was way lower."
Yes what a great short. The glass is always full if you trade it right.
For clarity, this was an exchange that was holding people’s money and they misused it. This is like ComSec selling your shares and spending the money. The fact it was “crypto” is somewhat irrelevant. Crypto isn’t the scam, centralised exchanges are.
