Le fondateur de FTX, SBF, en est à son dernier $100 000 : rapport
- Selon le fondateur de FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, qui valait autrefois plus de $26 milliards, son compte bancaire avait $100K la dernière fois qu'il l'a consulté.
- The collapse of SBF’s exchange wiped off multi-billion dollars from his wealth as well as the crypto industry due to the collapse of the FTX Token (FTT), which was ranked in the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
- SBF believes that if the regulators had placed more oversight and implement strict policies in the crypto industry, the implosion of his exchange could’ve been prevented.
- The former FTX CEO added that he wishes he focused more on positions for balances rather than on volumes and was more careful with customers’ funds.
Le fondateur et ancien PDG de la plate-forme d'échange de crypto en disgrâce, FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, également connu sous le nom de SBF dans l'espace crypto, a perdu toute sa valeur nette. La personnalité crypto valait autrefois plus de $26 milliards et est maintenant à son dernier $100 000, selon un rapport. Cela survient quelques semaines seulement après que son échange a déposé une demande de protection contre les créanciers en vertu du chapitre 11 de la faillite.
SBF, qui réclamations qu'à la minute où son échange a déposé son bilan, un investisseur potentiel est venu avec des milliards de financement, a vu une énorme augmentation de sa valeur nette depuis la création de FTX en 2019 et depuis lors, la plate-forme a atteint une valorisation de $32 milliards dans un cycle de financement mené par Softbank et Sequoia Capital, deux des plus grandes sociétés de capital-risque dans le domaine de la cryptographie et de la technologie.
Selon Axios, Bankman-Fried’s net worth has collapsed significantly following the collapse of FTX and now, he is down to his last $100K. In a statement given to Axios on Monday via a telephonic interview, SBF stated that the last time he checked, he had $100K left in his bank account as his multi-billion dollar empire came crashing down at once.
“Am I allowed to say a negative number?” Bankman-Fried said, when asked about his personal finances. “I mean, I have no idea. I don’t know. I had $100,000 in my bank account last I checked,” he added.
Meanwhile, he tied his personal wealth collapse with FTX’s implosion stating that he had all his money tied and invested in the exchange.
“It’s complicated. Basically everything I had was just tied up in the company,” stated the former CEO and founder of FTX.
On the other hand, Bankman-Fried believes that the implosion of his exchange could’ve been prevented if regulators were more active and had imposed regulation and proper oversight to prevent such collapses in the crypto space.
“I think one thing is… if you looked at the reporting, and CFTC applications, that would have been extremely helpful here on international rigor,” said the founder of FTX.
SBF said that if he would’ve been more careful and focused on positions for balances rather than on volumes, FTX would be still operational and the people who lost their money wouldn’t be in the position they are in.
En plus de sa valeur nette, des milliards de dollars ont été effacés de l'espace crypto en raison de l'effondrement de l'échange de crypto $32 milliards de dollars et de son jeton natif, FTT, qui a été classé parmi les 20 plus grandes crypto-monnaies de l'industrie.
