MONEY REIMAGINED: Worse Than Enron? The FTX Collapse Leaves Many With Egg on Their Faces

This episode is sponsored by Roofstock onChain

By now, you might have expected the daily revelations of “OMG, have you heard the latest” surrounding the implosion of crypto exchange FTX to have run their course. But, they haven’t. 

We have instead been treated with a jaw-dropping statement from FTX’s new CEO, John J. Ray III, well known for overseeing Enron’s notorious scam fallout. 

So, on this episode of “Money Reimagined,” host Michael Casey is joined by CoinDesk colleagues Nikhiesh De, Managing Editor for Global Policy and Regulation, and Tracy Wang, Deputy Managing Editor of the Business team; to breakdown on one hand, the aura of good and sophistication Sam Bankman-Fried created through his marketing, philanthropy, and political donations, and on the other hand, the utter mess of a company.
