Sam Bankman-Frieds nettovärde faller till noll

• Sam Bankman-Fried har förlorat sin förmögenhet, som en gång värderades till $16 miljarder.
• SBF avslöjades nyligen för att ha spelat en stor roll i det amerikanska valet och finansierat kandidater som han beundrade.
• FTX’s decline is expected to trigger a chain reaction of other collapses.

Sam Bankman-Fried såg inte bara sin kryptobörs, FTX, sjunka i flera dagar utan led också av en av de största förmögenhetsförlusterna i historien. SBF verkar ha förlorat de flesta av sina rikedomar efter att ha varit en av de rikaste männen i världen.

Enligt 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.

Både FTX och Alameda är i konkurs. Deras olika tillgångar har beslagtagits och myndigheterna har dragit in deras verksamhetstillstånd. FTX ansökte om kapitel 11 i konkurs 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.

 En grupp investerare, ledda av Justin Sun och OKX, har diskuterats som en möjlig lösning för att rädda plattformen. Det har dock inte förekommit några bekräftade påståenden om att en affär har stängts.
