Until a few days ago, his property Sam Bankman Fried (also known as “SBF”) by Bloomberg for $16 billion. Today, however, as strange as it may sound, it does not exceed … one dollar.
It was the biggest crash a billionaire had seen in a single day, according to Bloomberg. It’s entirely due to the imminent The collapse of the third largest stock exchange Cryptocurrency Worldwide, from FTXSBF is the co-founder and president of SBF. Finally, on Friday, SBF’s FTX was introduced Application for inclusion in the bankruptcy law from the United States (Chapter 11).
