Description

The best known figure of the FTX bankruptcy is - of course - its notorious former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. But there were dozens of other top executives at the firm. Some of them with titles ranging from Chief Technology Officer to Business Development. 
Prosecutors are likely scrutinizing them to better understand what role they played at Alameda.  
At issue is the alleged illegal transfer of billions of customer dollars from FTX to its sister company Alameda Research. So any employees associated with Alameda may likely be under review… 
So who are the power players most closely associated with Alameda and FTX? And what’s next for them?
That’s what we review with Bloomberg reporter Hannah Miller.

Crypto is the world's hottest financial trend. Digital tokens like Bitcoin and NFTs have moved from niche products to showing up in Super Bowl commercials and song lyrics.  Advocates of these new asset classes promise they will democratize the finance industry, and they hail the blockchain technology that backs it all as the future of computing. Skeptics say it's another financial house of cards. No newsroom on the planet is better equipped than Bloomberg to cut through all the noise and provide clarity, context and authority. In this new daily podcast, Bloomberg’s reporting team will tease out what’s actually important in the crypto conversation. Led by crypto expert Stacy-Marie Ishmael, the podcast will draw on reporters in every region and credible voices in the industry to cover everything from regulation to alt coins to DeFi, and even the environmental impact of the currency that promises to change the finance landscape indefinitely.
