FTXs Epic Fall is the name of a recently released documentary detailing the fall of FTX, a company that is considered to be one of the biggest crypto exchanges in the world. The company is estimated to have lost a total of $8 billion since its inception in 2012, and the company’s founders are reportedly worth a fraction of what they were valued at previously. FTX’s friends and admirers in the crypto and philanthropic communities as well as political circles have recently begun to distance themselves from the company.
Founder’s net worth reduced to fraction of what was previously estimated at $23 billion
Founders and CEOs are no strangers to the media, and the internet has done a number on the public’s willingness to pay for digital goods and services. A look at the stock market over the past decade suggests that many billionaires have a knack for either gaining or losing billions of dollars in the course of a single trading day.
One of the best ways to gauge a founder’s fortune is to look at his company’s balance sheet. Musk’s coffers are a little more than half-empty, but that’s not all. On the other hand, his company has one of the largest market caps on the planet.

FTX was the largest centralized cryptocurrency exchange platform in the world. It was considered the best option for experienced crypto enthusiasts. However, FTX’s collapse caught many in the crypto industry by surprise. It was also the platform that led to several criminal investigations. The US Department of Justice and US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York are currently investigating FTX and its associated companies.
FTX had nine billion USD in liabilities and one billion in liquid assets. Many crypto experts expressed concerns over the balance sheet of FTX. However, many also pointed out that FTX had not been receiving payments from customers, indicating that funds were not actually on the exchange.
FTX accuses Bankman-Fried of shifting assets overseas
FTX accused Sam Bankman-Fried of shifting assets overseas and working with Bahamian regulators to undermine the bankruptcy case. According to court documents filed in the US, the former CEO has been accused of transferring assets from the Bahamas to a company called FTX Digital Markets Ltd. This company was subsequently revoked by Bahamas securities regulators.
The Securities and Exchange Commission said that the move is in the interests of clients. However, the court documents say that Bankman-Fried has not been found guilty of any criminal charges.
The FTX lawyers claimed that a substantial amount of assets was missing. They also said that the company was run like a personal fiefdom by Bankman-Fried. In addition, they said that the company was hacked several times, with a total of millions of dollars lost.
FTX restructures
FTX restructures Epic Fall: The Defunct Crypto Exchange FTX is undergoing a review of its assets and liabilities to find ways to restructure its business model. This includes reviewing the value of the FTX token.
There are several reasons FTX chose to restructure its operations. These include the need for a better understanding of leverage ratios. This is especially important to consider when reviewing the value of customer assets. In the FTX case, this could mean millions of user accounts.
FTX hired investment banking advisory firm Perella Weinberg to help it restructure its assets. Perella will help FTX maximize the value of its remaining assets.

During his epic collapse, Sam Bankman-Fried, the former owner of one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, lost his empire. But the fallout is only beginning. It is expected to bury the entire digital currency industry. Several investors have experienced nine-figure losses. A major investor wrote down $213 million in investments to zero. It’s possible that FTX may have broken financial regulations. And the company may have harmed clients.
During his rise, Bankman-Fried was seen as a savior of the crypto industry. He was portrayed as the king of crypto, rescuing ailing startups when they were in trouble. In September, Bankman-Fried appeared on the cover of Fortune magazine. He also contributed millions of dollars to Democrats and super PACs. He also wrote a check to former President Joe Biden’s campaign, and donated $1 million to Beto O’Rourke’s failed campaign for Texas governor.
