FTX: The Anatomy of a Crypto Catastrophe
Filed under Companies
It was hailed as the future of global finance—a digital fortress led by a billionaire wunderkind in cargo shorts, backed by the biggest names on Wall Street. FTX promised to make cryptocurrency safe, regulated, and mainstream. But behind the glitzy Super Bowl ads and the celebrity endorsements lay a hollowed-out shell, built on a foundation of shifting assets, internal deceit, and a reckless disregard for the people who trusted them with their life savings.
In this episode of *Peak to Dust*, we strip away the PR polish to uncover how a multi-billion dollar empire evaporated in mere days. From the frantic late-night maneuvers in the Bahamas to the chilling courtroom revelations that followed, we chart the meteoric ascent and the soul-crushing descent of the exchange that shook the world. This documentary draws on over 204 verified primary and secondary sources, including bankruptcy filings, internal reports, and contemporaneous financial records, to present the definitive account of the FTX collapse.
