Sam Bankman-Freed: The Rise of a Wonder Kid in Crypto

Sam Bankman-Freed, a young and successful entrepreneur, established the cryptocurrency exchange FTX and became a multi-billionaire by his thirties. He presented himself as the 'people's billionaire,' with his casual attire and down-to-earth demeanor. However, in November 2022, he was at the center of a massive collapse in the crypto industry. His company, Alameda Research, and FTX faced scrutiny as his actions raised questions about the sustainability and legitimacy of his success. While many celebrated him as a philanthropist, his involvement in risky trades and suspicious practices cast doubt on his true intentions.
