US Rep to look into FTX crash

He added that Representatives will also inquire if SBF was given preference because of his ties to the Democratic party. However, Why the commission didn’t see the FTX implosion coming will be the major question.

Earlier, Coingape reported that FTX’s former CEO has been alleged of deeply funding lobbying in Washington DC over the past year. The SEC might come to rescue SBF from this mess.
