Crypto billionaire calls out to SBF
Anthony Scaramucci said what happened around FTX was “the worst in history”. Previously, he appreciated Binance and FTX when they worked together to resolve their liquidity issues. In his most recent statements, he commented on the status of FTX and SBF. He said he hesitated to call it a fraud yet.
The Skybridge Capital founder, in his appearance on CNBC today, stated that he is close with CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. In part of his statements, he said that he did not want to call it fraudulent. Scaramucci says the SBF should contact regulators instead of tweeting about it. He invited the CEO of FTX, who resigned today, to tell the truth:
…He needs to explain exactly what happened. If there is fraud, it should be exposed. I know Sam is a good person. I trust him. It’s wrong and they should go and tell everything. Enough is enough, it’s time to speak directly. In this way, we can clear this situation.
In September 2022, FTX’s investment arm purchased a 30% stake in SkyBridge Capital. Interestingly, this deal freed SkyBridge investors from exposure to FTX due to the conflict of interest clause. Stating that the FTX collapse is a violation of trust in Sam Bankman-Fried for all investors, Scaramucci says that the CEO of FTX should come out and speak the truth before the regulators. Sam Bankman-Fried said that if he believes in effective altruism, it won’t hurt the industry and the people involved.
