On November 15, Matt Huang shared his thoughts about FTX on Twitter. In the 5-part thread, Huang talked about his regrets and thoughts on the future of crypto as a result of the FTX scandal.

“We feel deep regret for having invested in a founder and company who ultimately did not align with crypto’s values and who have done enormous damage to the ecosystem.”

Moreover, Huang commented that the FTX fiasco has caused some to question crypto’s value. However, he instated that the issues at FTX are precisely ones that decentralized finance can solve through increased transparency and security.

He further added that crises such as this one help clarify the true merits of what the crypto industry towards.

Similarly, Jason Choi, Co-founder of the Blockcrunch Podcast and Partner at Tangent Ventures, composed a “definitive” Twitter thread on FTX. In the 64-part thread, Choi chronicled the journey of FTX from 2019 until everything crashed.

Moreover, Choi made a very deliberate point on the decisions that Bankman-Fried and his company made. In the tweet, Choi stated:

Every major decision they have made is related to acquiring more leverage – via deceptive fundraises, financial engineering, and ultimately, outright fraud, as we will see below.

Notably, in the fourth point of his Twitter thread, Choi states:

“From my primary sources (who will remain undisclosed), @FTX_Official was allegedly started as an easy way to access capital by Alameda due to difficulties in raising for the latter. This is unprovable short of leaking internal chats, so we’ll leave that for the courts.”
