However, Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX chief in a recent interview hinted at the results of his bailout efforts amid the crypto collapse. He mentioned that they recorded mixed outcomes of the deals. SBF went on to engineer around $1 billion worth of deals to help the grappling companies when Bitcoin prices dropped sharply.

He highlighted the deal with troubled digital asset lender Voyager. SBF said that it turned out to be one of the bad deals. Alameda Research, offered around a $485 million loan to the lender. However, Voyager went on to file bankruptcy in July.
