Understanding The Rise And Fall Of FTX, FTT And Alameda Research | Forbes

The fall of FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried revealed holes in the crypto space that industry peers, the media, and government officials either chose to overlook or refused to question further. Underneath FTX’s successful veneer was a fragile ecosystem led by young, ambitious founders determined to move mountains under the guise of Effective Altruism – an academic and social movement geared around maximizing wealth redistribution. But as Bankman-Fried’s operation continues to unravel and more damaging information comes to light – what is in store for the future of cryptocurrency, and is the loss in public trust irreversible?
