30-year-old billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, who was part of the TOP 10 of the youngest billionaires of the Forbes list, lost all the fortune in 48 hours, Russian media reported.
This is due to the fact that the second largest cryptocurrency exchange of FTX initiated its bankruptcy in the United States. Bankman-Fried, who served as the general director, resigned.
The cryptocurrency market this week has experienced one of the most powerful shocks in its history. At first, the main cryptocurrencies fell against the backdrop of the news about the purchase of the largest crypto -based crypto -rumor of their competitor FTX. And when at the last moment Binance refused the transaction, the cost of bitcoin reached a two -year minimum. The founder of the FTX Sam Bankman-Frida lost his billions in record time.
Two months ago, Forbes estimated Sam at about $ 17 billion. 16 of them he lost in one night.
It is also reported that a minimum of $ 1 billion has disappeared from the collapsed FTX crypto -tank. The company said that it intends to study “abnormal transactions.”
