The Australian Financial Review reported that FTX’s top executives had a secret group on Signal named “Wirefraud.”

The group was used to send secret information about operations in the lead up to the company’s spectacular failure, the report claimed.

SBF denied all such allegations in a tweet reply, saying, “if this is true then I wasn't a member of that inner circle.”

I'm quite sure it's just false; I have never heard of such a group, SBF added.
