Summary of LEAKED: FTX’s Collapse Is FAR WORSE Than You Think

00:00:00 - 00:15:00

The YouTube video discusses the collapse of FTX, a crypto-exchange company that was accused of fraud. The main points discussed in the video are that FTX was a relatively new company, and that in order to improve its credibility, it hired an accounting firm, Prager Midas. However, this decision would eventually backfire when Alameda Research, one of FTX's main creditors, went bankrupt. FTX's subsequent fall in rankings was also a problem, as it made it harder for investors to find a safe place to put their money. Finally, in June of 2022, SPF decided to use a back-door to transfer funds from FTX's customer assets without triggering any alerts to the company's internal compliance team. This maneuver saved FTX and Alameda from bankruptcy, but it also exposed SPF himself to legal risks.

• 00:00:00 FTX collapsed in 2022, after a news leak revealed that the company Alameda research held 5.1 billion dollars of FTT tokens. This caused the value of FTX to plummet and nearly all of its assets were withdrawn. FTX only had 6 billion dollars on hand at the end, and by November 8th 6 billion dollars had been withdrawn. SPF, the CEO of FTX, negotiated a sale to binance, but was forced to give in to CZ's demands after discovering several fraudulent activities.
• 00:05:00 According to capital's website, SPF was looking to make riskier decisions in order to amass larger sums of wealth, which led to him starting Alameda Research, a new Quant fund that engaged in Arbitrage trading. Within the first six months of starting FTX, SPF was contacted by CZ from binance, who saw the potential in FTX and was interested in buying a portion of the exchange. SPF knew that binance was the biggest player in the industry and saw the 100 million dollars as an opportunity to accelerate the growth of FTX. As a result, SBF accepted cz's offer unbeknownst to SPF. This would be the worst decision in his life, as it would lead to FTX's collapse.
