In essence, CZ is claiming that FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) is backstabbing other crypto players. There was no specific detail about which part CZ is referring to, although SBF is known to be active in working with regulators on behalf of the crypto industry. If what CZ says has merit, then it shows that SBF’s intention has been selfish in nature all along.

SBF has yet to comment on CZ’s allegation — at least not directly. In a thread, SBF expressed thanks to those who remain committed to FTX as the crypto exchange is struggling against considerable liquidation amid a massive exodus of users. In detail, there are rumors saying that FTX has discrepancies with its balance sheet.

To be fair, there is no sufficient evidence to support the claim of CZ regarding FTX. However, many people are already siding with CZ, especially those who are worried about their assets. Some even commented, saying “this market can’t have another LUNA.”
