The starting point for FTX problems

Kevin O’Leary, a Canadian businessman, entrepreneur and television personality, referred to SBF as the “Warren Buffett of Bitcoin”. But Kiyosaki referred to the SBF as the “Bernie Madoff of cryptocurrency.” Bernard Lawrence Madoff was one of the biggest Ponzi scams in history. He was an American swindler and financier whose scams totaled about $65 billion. As is known, the US Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are now investigating FTX.
