Latest Developments Following the FTX Collapse
UPDATE: FTX was being run by 10 “kids” in the Bahamas living in the same house and being involved romantically with each other, including Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison who had been dating FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. As Surreal as this sounds, an anonymous insider source has spoken to CoinDesk about it.
