Unless $XX Billion magically appear in FTX's accounts overnight I can really only see this going one way....
Its not a great start when your co-founder and your former girlfriend both plead guilty and presumably tell the feds "where the bodies are buried"  !!

 

"Gary Wang, who co-founded FTX, and Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, both pleaded guilty to fraud charges and are cooperating with prosecutors.

 

Prosecutors allege the hedge fund was using money from FTX customers to pay debts, place speculative bets, and invest in other companies."

Gemini’s Winklevoss accuses crypto mogul Silbert of ‘bad faith stalling tactics’ over frozen funds
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/03/genesis-cameron-winklevoss-and-dcgs-barry-silbert-spar-over-frozen-funds.html

 

""
The spat arises from a pact Gemini has with Genesis Global Capital, the lending arm of crypto investment firm Genesis Global Trading, a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group. Gemini offered users yields as high as 8% via its lending product Gemini Earn. To generate those returns, Gemini lent users’ funds to Genesis Global Capital, which in turn loaned them out to institutional borrowers.
