• Sam Bankman-Fried ha perdido su riqueza, que una vez fue valorada en $16 mil millones.

Sam Bankman-Fried no solo vio cómo su intercambio de criptomonedas, FTX, disminuía en días, sino que también sufrió una de las mayores pérdidas de riqueza de la historia. SBF parece haber perdido la mayor parte de su riqueza días después de ser uno de los hombres más ricos del mundo.

De acuerdo a Bloomberg, the 30-year-old had a net worth of $16 billion, which is now worth nothing following FTX’s decline. Bankman-Fried rose to become one of the most prominent members of the crypto community and had a portfolio of businesses that included FTX and Alameda Research. SBF also had stakes in a couple of crypto companies, including Robinhood.

Tanto FTX como Alameda están en quiebra. Sus diferentes bienes han sido incautados y las autoridades les han retirado los permisos de operación. FTX se acogió al Capítulo 11 de bancarrota on November 11, and Bankman-Fried announced his resignation. The last few days’ events have cast a shadow of doubt over FTX and the broader crypto community.

According to Bloomberg, Alameda has lost all of its value. FTX International suffered a similar fate. SBF owned a 70% ownership in FTX US. However, the company is now only worth $1. Despite initial claims that FTX US was unaffected, the platform is shutting down and has asked customers to close any open positions.

Authorities in the Bahamas, where FTX.com is headquartered, and SBF resides, froze the company’s assets.
SBF also held a 7.6% stake in Robinhood (HOOD), which was valued at $589 million. However, according to Reuters, this stake was used as security for loans made through Alameda Research. Bloomberg calculates that SBF is left with nothing after watching his world crumble.

FTX suffered a liquidity crisis of about $8 billion due to recent events. The platform has been on a quest for a savior, but such prayers have remained unanswered. Binance was first announced as a potential buyer before pulling out of the deal a few hours later.

 Un grupo de inversores, liderado por Justin Sun y OKX, ha sido discutido como una posible solución para salvar la plataforma. Sin embargo, no ha habido ningún reclamo confirmado de que se haya cerrado un trato.
