Reputation Loss To Temasek
The global investment company has a portfolio valued at S$403 billion, with ownership of the Government of Singapore. The development follows BlockFi’s filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy over FTX related crisis. According to a Reuters report, the deputy prime minister expressed disappointment over the FTX loss. Speaking at the country’s parliament, Wong said the loss resulted in reputational damage to Temasek. He further said,
“The fact that other leading global institutional investors like BlackRock and Sequoia Capital also invested in FTX does not mitigate this. The loss did not mean state investor Temasek’s governance system was not working.”
The FTX management, under new CEO John Ray, is going through an overhaul after the shock collapse under founder Sam Bankman-Fried‘s leadership. As part of the company’s bankruptcy move, SBF stepped down from role of chief executive officer. In a recent development, CEO Ray said the company resumed payment of salaries to its workforce around the world.
