FTX was able to fleece Wall Street investors specifically because of their deep Wall Street connections. This is a corrupt Wall Street story. The only reason they were exposed is because they left evidence on-chain, and people started asking questions. There are very few people who have been in the cryptocurrency space for more than 5 years that had any sort of trust in FTX.
