Sam Bankman-Fried Should Speak To Regulators

Scaramucci revealed that in his recent interaction with Sam Bankman-Fried, the two discussed about helping the FTX CEO raise funds. Speaking to CNBC on Friday, he said many of his peers in the industry think this is the worst week in the history of cryptocurrencies. Expressing his distressed feelings about the situation, he added that he doesn’t like it for the industry to be in such a situation. He recommended that the FTX CEO approach regulators and explain what happened exactly.

“I will be working on buying back my equity and restoring that. The good news for SkyBridge investors is that we had no assets in custody on FTX as it raised a potential conflict of interest.”

In September 2022, FTX’s investment arm acquired a stake of 30% in SkyBridge Capital. Interestingly, this deal saved SkyBridge investors for potential exposure to FTX due to the conflict of interest clause. Adding that the FTX meltdown meant violation of trust in Sam Bankman-Fried for all investors, Scaramucci said the FTX CEO should come forward and speak truth before regulators. He said that if Sam Bankman-Fried were a believer in effective altruism, he would not damage the industry and the people involved.
