SBF To Testify At Hearing On FTX Collapse This December
Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried as well as other executives are expected to testify at Capitol Hill in December following the collapse and bankruptcy of the crypto exchange FTX.
Call For Executives
Multiple house lawmakers have ordered for FTX executives, including their former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) as well as executives from multiple other crypto exchanges like Binance and Bankman-Fried’s hedge fund, Alameda Research to testify at a December hearing.
“The fall of FTX has posed tremendous harm to over one million users, many of whom were everyday people who invested their hard-earned savings into the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, only to watch it all disappear within a matter of seconds,” Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters said in a statement.
“Unfortunately, this event is just one out of many examples of cryptocurrency platforms that have collapsed just this past year.”
