FTX VD ger en offentlig ursäkt, planerar att "göra rätt av användarna"
- VD:n för kryptobörsen FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried utfärdade en offentlig ursäkt på Twitter och ägde alla misstag han gjorde när han var ansvarig för den nu nära konkursbörsen.
- He said that due to “poor internal labeling” of bank-related accounts, he was “substantially off” on his sense of users’ margin which led to $5 billion in withdrawals on Sunday.
- The executive further added that his firm’s number 1 priority is to “do right by the users” and revealed that the exchange is in talks with several parties for a bailout deal.
- Going forward, SBF confirmed that Alameda Research won’t be trading on FTX exchange anymore and if the firm remains operations, 100% on-chain transparency will be maintained.
After a long period of silence, the CEO of crypto exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, issued a public apology on Twitter stating that he should’ve been more careful and also, commented on the future of the exchange and how the Bahamas-based firm will get its neck out of the trouble it is in.
Dessutom, i Twitter-tråden på torsdagen, bekräftade Bankman-Fried, även känd som SBF i kryptogemenskapen, att den amerikanska grenen av FTX, FTX.US är helt likvid och inte står inför något uttagsstopp till skillnad från börsens interna arm .
Den före detta kryptomiljardären såg sin förmögenhet minska avsevärt under de senaste dagarna. SBF var värt nästan $26 miljarder vid toppen av sin popularitet, men sedan dess såg han sin förmögenhet sjunka till mindre än en miljardär efter att tokenen han skapade, FTT-token, föll i aska efter tillkännagivandet från Binances vd, Changpeng Zhao, också känd som CZ i rymden, att hans företag skulle sälja över $2 miljarder i FTT.
FTX VD bryter tystnaden
The FTX executive stated that he has been silent for the past few days because Binance demanded it and he “wasn’t particularly allowed to say much publicly.” While apologizing, the crypto personality stated, “But of course it’s on me that we ended up there in the first place.”
Därefter fortsatte den före detta kryptostjärnan, som var en av de största donatorerna i det senaste presidentvalet i USA, med en uppdatering om framtiden för sitt företag och dess existens och även om när uttag kommer att tillåtas.
“FTX International currently has a total market value of assets/collateral higher than client deposits (moves with prices!). But that’s different from liquidity for delivery–as you can tell from the state of withdrawals. The liquidity varies widely, from very to very little,” said SBF.
The FTX CEO accepted that he made two mistakes that proved to be the death knell for his exchange. Firstly, he stated that due to “dålig intern märkning” of bank-related accounts, he was “substantially off” on his sense of users’ margin. “I thought it was way lower,” he said. This resulted in over $5 billion worth of withdrawals on Sunday, which was the largest every for the exchange.
Det andra misstaget som SBF gjorde kan ses i Twitter-inlägget nedan. Hans missräkningar ledde till den likviditetskrisa som börsen befinner sig i.

He once again apologized for not communicating enough and said that his number 1 priority is to “do right by the users.”
“So, right now, we’re spending the week doing everything we can to raise liquidity. I can’t make any promises about that. But I’m going to try. And give anything I have to if that will make it work,” said the FTX executive.
Han bekräftade också att FTX för närvarande för samtal med flera parter för att lösa sina problem. Enligt marknadens rykten är chefen arbetar på ett avtal med Tron-grundaren Justin Sun.
Bankman-Fried also confirmed that every penny received from the parties and with the collateralization of the assets, “will go straight to users,” until all the users haven’t been made full. After the customers, SBF will see that the exchange does right by its employees and investors as well.
“Because at the end of the day, I was CEO, which means that jag was responsible for making sure that things went well. I, ultimately, should have been on top of everything. I clearly failed in that. I’m sorry,” Bankman-Fried said.

Going forward, FTX CEO confirmed that Alameda Research won’t be trading on FTX exchange anymore and “in any scenario in which FTX continues operating, its first priority will be radical transparency–transparency it probably always should have been giving.” He stated that the exchange, if operational, will provide “as close to on-chain transparency as it can, so that people know exactly what is happening on it.”
“All of the stakeholders would have a hard look at FTX governance. I will not be around if I’m not wanted. All of the stakeholders–investors, regulators, users–would have a large part to play in how it would be run,” confirmed Bankman-Fried.
FTX US Remains 100% Liquid
Tack vare den strikta reglerande policyn från United States SEC förblir FTX US 100% likvid och uttag behandlas för användarna.
While ending his Twitter thread, FTX CEO Bankman-Fried threw a shot at Binance CEO, Zhao, calling him a “sparring partner.”
