The FTX scandal wasn’t just a crypto crash – it was a $10 billion wake-up call for the entire industry. As Sam Bankman-Fried begins his 25-year prison sentence, many victims wonder: Is my money truly gone forever? The answer might surprise you.
How FTX’s Fraud Unfolded
- The Promise: FTX marketed itself as the safest, most regulated crypto exchange.
- The Reality: Behind the scenes, executives secretly transferred customer funds to Alameda Research, their high-risk trading firm.
- The Collapse: When withdrawals were suspended in November 2022, millions of users lost access to their savings overnight.
Where the Money Went – And What’s Being Recovered
✅ $7 billion+ already located (cash, crypto, and assets like Bahamian real estate)
✅ Bankman-Fried convicted (March 2024) on fraud and money laundering
✅ Creditors may recover 90%+ of their holdings (pending court approval)
