Episode: The FTX Crypto Exchange Scandal -- Interview of Matt Stankiewicz from The Volkov Law Group
Description: The cryptocurrency industry is a young and rapidly growing one fraught with legal and economic risks. These risks can be exploited by ill-intentioned parties to fill their pockets and fund their lavish lifestyles. One such party is the disgraced founder of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (commonly called “SBF”), former darling of Silicon Valley and Wall Street. The FTX exchange was hailed as the gold standard for cryptocurrency, but a series of events led to a bank run and exposed the fraudulent scheme behind-the-scenes. Matt Stankiewicz joins Michael Volkov to discuss the legal ramifications of the fall of FTX and SBF.
