As Coinlive reported, on the morning of eleven/twelve, the FTX exchange assisted substantial sum of withdrawals from the exchange, which recorded up to $400 million in many coins. Although it has not been confirmed who is behind it, quite a few doubt that it is an inner “game” for the reason that it took place just immediately after one day of filing for bankruptcy.

All have been hacked trade in BTC and by way of the ChipMixer mixer to select upso there is no way to get it back.

He also commented that FTX is “an unprecedented failure” and it was the most tough situation he had encountered in his much more than forty-yr job.
