CRYPTO King Sam Bankman-Fried was part of a ‘polyamorous’ group that ran his business before it collapsed losing £27 billion, it’s been claimed.
Bankman-Fried, 30, and Caroline Ellison were themselves said to be in an on-off relationship and reportedly lived as part of the 10 person bed-hopping band in a Caribbean penthouse.
He is facing criminal investigation over the collapse over FTX, which has sent the price of BitCoin plummeting.
Bankman-Fried’s unconventional style – which saw him sleep on a beanbag in the office – and commitment to progressive causes saw him hobnobbing with figures such as Tony Blair and Bill Clinton.
FTX was also able to secure the endorsement of high-profile celebrities including Tom Brady and his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, who both invested in it, as well as comedian Larry David.
But it’s now emerged “the whole operation was run by a gang of kids in the Bahamas” who are, or used to be, paired up in romantic relationships, CoinDesk reports.
