- Very important point about the whole FTX debacle... it wasn't a "bank run" (as the NYT said) or a hedge fund gone bad (several others). There was a clear malfeasance at play. Let @davidzmorris explain, as only he can.FTX wasn’t just mismanaged. At the heart of its collapse was a series of acts likely criminal in nature, CoinDesk's Chief Insights Columnist @DavidZMorris writes. Opinion. trib.al/FcRCBt5
