Who suffered a loss？
Huge financial damages for individuals and organizations resulted from one of the darkest periods in recent cryptocurrency history—the collapse of FTX. 9,693,985 investors are impacted, according to a 115-page document published by the bankrupt exchange's attorneys.
Popular cryptocurrency-related companies including Coinbase, Circle, Genesis, BlockFi, Galaxy Digital, Paradigm, and many others have money trapped on the platform. Following the crash, Genesis and BlockFi were unable to carry on with their usual commercial operations and filed for bankruptcy assistance.
Tech goliaths like Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Amazon, and Meta are among the roughly 10 million creditors. The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and CoinDesk were a few more media sites named by the attorneys. It is noteworthy that even the governments of the Virgin Islands, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are named as creditors for the FTX. Additionally impacted are central banks like the Bank of Cyprus and the Bank of the Bahamas.
The exchange gives money to a number of other businesses in addition to the obvious titans. The leading hotel chain in the world, Marriott International, the largest airline in the world, American Airlines, the largest bank in Germany, The Miami Heat Charitable Fund, and many more are just a few of the intriguing names.
The document omitted to state how much money was due to each creditor, and an addition noted that not all companies had trading accounts with FTX.
A List of Celebrities Who Sold Their Investment
Several notable people suffered from the exchange's collapse, including Tom Brady and his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, according to a new story by CryptoPotato. The Brazilian fashion model owns 686,761 shares of FTX, compared to the NFL player's ownership of much more than 1.1 million.
The New England Patriots' owner and American billionaire Robert Kraft purchased 110,000 Series B Preferred shares and 479,000 Ordinary stock of FTX Trading.
One of the more contentious people on that list is Kevin O'Leary. He earned $15 million for his work as an FTX ambassador. Additionally, he was tight with Sam Bankman- Fried (SBF), the site's former CEO, and he bought 139,000 Class A Common Shares and 12,631 Series A Preferred Shares in West Realm Shires (the firm that controls FTX US). He even stated that FTX is one of the least risky venues for traders in October of last year (a few weeks before the infamous fallout).
