SBF Says FTX Never Went Bankrupt
In detail, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) makes a statement in a recent interview that sparks rage in the crypto community. As we can see from the post and video above, SBF says that FTX had never gone bankrupt. He then goes on to chalk up the downfall of the FTX platform to what he believes to have been a liquidity crisis at the time.
