Warren made several other statements about FTX in the months following its collapse.
Share this article The senators noted that FTX’s collapse had a ripple effect on the financial industry. They pointed out that FTX was once a leading crypto exchange, and that at least 130 affiliated companies filed for bankruptcy this month. Warren and Whitehouse claimed that FTX deceived customers via celebrity endorsements and that former FTX CEO Sam Bankman Fried had downplayed liquidity concerns after users realized that they couldn’t withdraw their funds. They also noted that John Jay Ray, the current CEO of FTX, highlighted many of FTX’s failures this week. Ray pointed out in public filings that FTX had poor regulatory oversight, concentrated administrative controls among inexperienced leaders, concealed its misuse of customer money, and that FTX could have owed $8 billion to one million customers. This letter is not Warren’s first regarding FTX. On November 16, she wrote a letter to Dick Durbin, a fellow senator, asking FTX for information. Warren also published an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal yesterday. She called FTX’s fall a wake-up call for regulators (including the DOJ, Securities and Exchange Commission and U.S. Treasury). Recent reports indicate that some of these agencies are already investigating FTX. Decentral Media, Inc. does not provide investment advice.
