FTX, which is a crypto investing firm, has been facing a deadly lawsuit provoked by regulatory bodies against the deposit insurance that, according to regulators, it issued to the clients for the investments that they made with the firm.
This was clearly an error that was made by FTX during a tweet from the founder and executive of the firm Brett Harrison; regulators, on the other hand, are going to have a tough time proving otherwise that the firm did actually issue insurance to the investors.
A cease and desist letter has been issued to the FTX firm by the federal deposit insurance corporation to shed light on a deleted tweet that came from the executive in which the hints of investors being covered by some sort of insurance are present.
According to the regulatory firm, the messaging of the company is not in line with the regulatory standards, and they have misled or otherwise deceived the investors into believing that they had insurance for the investment that they were making through the firm.
The tweet of Brett read that all direct deposits from the employers to the FTX US will be placed in an FDIC-insured bank account that will be individual in the name of the user. Stocks, on the other hand, are added into the SIPC insured brokerage and FDIC insured accounts; this was further added.
Despite the fact that Brett has given FTX its best possible years in terms of revenue while taking the overall profit all the way to 1000% since the last quarter, the backlash of the regulators on the poor fellow is intense, and they don’t seem to be backing off one bit.
FTX Executive Apologizes to Twitter Followers
In response to the backlash of the FDIC, he issued another tweet suggesting the present situation and breaking the news to the investors that clear communication is the key when it comes to making a business an utter success, and FTX has been lacking in it. FTX doesn’t have FDIC insurance, and only the banks that we presently work with do; the firm is once again really sorry if someone was misled, although it was not the purpose of the firm to do so.
