Building a Reputation

Crypto's Comeback
The December arrest of Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder and CEO of FTX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, dealt a severe blow to the crypto world.
Prior to his arrest in the Bahamas, where FTX was based, Bitcoin was trading above $20K. Bankman-Fried is being accused of wire fraud, commodities fraud, securities fraud, money laundering, and campaign finance law violations. The FTT cryptocurrency plummeted, and the stock fell below $17K just weeks later.
Bankman-Fried is suspected of utilizing customers' FTX crypto holdings for risky investments through another company he spearheaded, Alameda Research. When rumors surfaced about FTX funds being improperly used to fund Alameda, customers started withdrawing their crypto holdings, which led to FTX filing for bankruptcy when it couldn't handle the requested transactions.
Some financial experts believed FTX's downfall would tarnish the crypto markets forever, but prices have since bounced back. Bitcoin is trading above $23,300 as of Thursday morning — though that's around 47% below where the digital currency was trading at this time last year.
