Sam Bankman-Fried & FTX: Fraud on top of sh*t mountain

from Corporate Gossip · host Nitetoast Media

Becca is joined by Corporate Gossip startup correspondent Aaron Cohn to dip our tube-socked toes into the FTX trial. We meet Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), a rumpled 28-year-old-grown-adult-boy-genius who built a $40 billion crypto empire in less than three years. But his meteoric rise to crypto kingpin was followed quickly by his fall to the bottom of shit-coin mountain. And now, SBF is facing up to 115 years in federal prison for fraud.
