This week, will certainly remain forever in the annals of the crypto industry. It will undoubtedly, also leave an indelible mark on the mind of Sam Bankman-Fried, the former boss of the FTX crypto platform. FTT, the exchange's native token, began a free fall to the depths, his companies went bankrupt, he lost his billionaire status, he is under investigation by regulators, he had to resign and file for bankruptcy of FTX in the United States, his investors are demanding accountability, etc. All this, in less than seven days. But fate seems to have decided to take another crack at him.

🍰The icing on the cake?

This affair would certainly deserve a Hollywood movie. While the bankruptcy filing has barely been made, we learn that FTX was the victim of a massive hacking on Friday night. The operation would have allowed the perpetrators to take nearly $400 million. Some say as much as $600 million.

The announcement was made by market observers, before being relayed by members of the crypto community. It was FTX employees, who initially brought the news to observers.

The entire crypto community is currently in shock over this news and is asking many questions. On Twitter, some are not hesitating to make fun of the situation. There is also a rumor that has started to swell that Sam Bankman-Fried himself is behind the attack. Blockchain security experts have taken to social networks to suggest that users uninstall the app and not download the new version. They fear that it is a siphoning still in progress, with malware specializing in this type of attack.

FTX, the exchange founded by Sam Bankman-Fried was hacked and several hundred million dollars were taken. There are currently few details about the attack. There will certainly be important updates during the day.
