After SBF's Conviction, Investors Are Targeting Larry David, Tom Brady and Other FTX Endorsers
- Fallout after Bankman-Fried conviction will linger for years
- Celebrity endorsers say there are no valid claims against them
Sam Bankman-Fried’s criminal fraud conviction came just as the FTX implosion was approaching its first anniversary. But for others who helped promote the cryptocurrency exchange, the legal fallout will continue for years.
Attention now turns to a sweeping class-action suit in Miami federal court by investors who claim they lost billions in the collapse of FTX and seek to pin blame not just on Bankman-Fried and his inner circle, but also on celebrities who were paid to endorse it to the masses, as well as bankers, accountants and lawyers who propped up the empire’s legitimacy.
