What else is known? On the evening of November 10, Bankman-Fried pleaded guilty to the FTX collapse. He talked about looking for partners to raise funds and keep the exchange running. Later it became known that Alameda Research lost about $8 billion worth of FTX’s customer deposits. According to the Alameda Research filing, its assets and liabilities are valued between $10 billion and $50 billion.
John J. Ray was appointed FTX’s new CEO, the lawyer who previously handled the scandalous bankruptcy case of the US energy company Enron. As a result of falsified statements in 2001, owners of its shares lost $74 billion.
On the morning of November 11, the entire staff of Alameda Research was fired, and now the FTX Group founder Sam Bankman-Fried stepped down as CEO. He stepped down and will be engaged in providing assistance in the transition period for the company.
