FTX is turning out to be the biggest con of all time. Binance is owned by the CCP... so be wary of them too.

Early in the Russo-Ukraine War Ukraine set up a website to accept donations from individuals to help fight the Russians. Donations in cryptocurrencies were accepted, but the Ukraine treasury had to convert these to Euros or Dollars in which to buy war materials. FTX was hired to perform the conversions. Ukraine didn't invest in FTX. US tax dollars went mostly to US defense contractors to produce arms for Ukraine, or to EU members to buy or repair their Russian made armaments for transfer to Ukraine. It was not invested in FTX.

Take the money back from the Democrat politicians he gave it to. Stolen money can’t be donated.

It depends on whether the money was his personal money or the corporation's.

Never gamble/invest money that you cannot afford to lose.

Given that this is crypto, I wonder if some of those creditors are the sort of folk that it is a really bad idea to lift cash from. Those behind the company may have more pressing concerns than legal action.

Get rich schemes are as old as man. As the saying goes, there's a sucker born every minute and two born to take his, or her, money. If people were smarter these con men couldn't get away with the crimes they engage in.

DO NOT GET INTO CRYPTO-SCAMS !!..

you could also say DO NOT GET INTO BANK-SCAMS !!..

because the Lehman Bank shock was exactly the same - senior members of the big banks committing fraud, & then covered it up.

the difference is, the banks were saved thanks to huge handouts from the government

FDIC protects something. But nothing protects Crypto and it needs to crash and burn (further). Nothing good comes from it. I wish it was 2010 and I would mint some crypto on my PC then sell for millions in real currency, pay the amount of tax, sell it to another sucker, then retire (in non-fake currency). You can no longer do that.

It's looking like Coinbase is heading to zero too. Binance is certain to follow.
