The Rise and Fall of Sam Bankman Free
Sam Bankman Free, the Crown Prince of crypto, is facing trial for allegedly defrauding investors and customers out of billions of dollars. As the founder of FTX, a crypto exchange, Bankman Free experienced a meteoric rise in the crypto world. However, cracks began to appear when a sarcastic tweet led to a run on FTX, causing investors to withdraw their funds. It was revealed that FTX did not have the money to repay clients, leading to bankruptcy. Bankman Free's defense is expected to argue that he was unaware of the misappropriation of funds, pointing the finger at his ex-girlfriend and business partner, Caroline Ellison.
