He said, no, this is fortunate that it happened to me because not everyone would be able to handle it, but you can because you trained for this

because you know how to find the opportunity inside difficulty because you've harnessed the power of a more faulty. Other people might be thrown back by what has happened.

Ah, the Bahamas. What if you could live in a penthouse above the crystal clear ocean working during the day and partying at night with your best friends and have it be 100% paid for? FTX Founder's Sam Bankman Freed lived that dream life, but it was all funded with other people's money, that he allegedly stole. Many thought Sam Bankman Freed was changing the game as he graced the pages of Forbes

in Vanity Fair. Some involved in crypto saw him as a breath of fresh air from the usual Wall Street buffs with his casual dress and ability to play League of Legends during boardroom meetings. But in less than a year, his exchange would collapse. An SPF would find himself in a jail cell, with tens of thousands of investors blaming him for their crypto losses. From Bloomberg and Wondery, comes Spellcaster, a new six-part docu-series about the meteoric rise and spectacular fall of FTX, and its founder, Sam Beckman Fried.
