Troublingly, the conditions that enabled FTX’s fraud remain unchanged today. With the same red flags waving across today’s cryptocurrency industry, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion that similar frauds have only yet to be discovered.

1. From secretly acquiring “grey area” cash-for-crypto businesses to buying political influence to paying off lawyers, the FTX adversary cases describe incredibly shady practices that are far from as unusual as the crypto industry likes to claim.

Troublingly, the conditions that enabled FTX’s fraud remain unchanged today. Lack of auditing is the norm.
