Just a mere month ago, disgraced former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was the undisputed king of the digital asset industry.

FTX has declared bankruptcy, and almost a million FTX creditors are unlikely to get their money back.

Bloomberg crypto editor Anna Irrera and Bloomberg reporter Misyrlena Egkolfopoulo join the show.
