<h2 id="header-0">While many people on Twitter are equating FTX with Madoff's Ponzi scheme, according to Ripple CTO, there are significant differences—but there's a catch.</h2>
<a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency/ftx-token-ftt-prices-usd" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">FTX </a>founder Sam Bankman-Fried has been accused of creating Ponzi schemes, but David Schwartz, the chief technology officer of Ripple Labs and a co-creator of XRP Ledger and XRP, has taken to Twitter to defend him somewhat.
FTX and Alameda Research failed to close a $9 billion hole in their financial records, and SBF revealed today that he has filed for bankruptcy on their behalf, as CoinGabbar had already reported.
Discussions on FTX's Ponzi Link on Twitter
As a result, SBF's orchestration of a sizable Ponzi scam through FTX.com has gone viral on Twitter, prompting comparisons to Bernie Madoff. The CTO of Ripple, however, acknowledges that there are "major seeming distinctions" between the two, even though FTX ultimately turned out to be a Ponzi scheme.
Viewpoint of David on SBF vs. Madoff
In contrast to Bernie Madoff, who purposefully started with a Ponzi scheme in the hopes of later replacing it with a legitimate business but instead created the largest Ponzi in history worth close to $65 billion, Sam Bankman-Fried appears to have started FTX as a legitimate cryptocurrency business before it gradually turned into a pyramid scheme.
He thinks that as Alameda Research began to incur losses, FTX progressively began to take on characteristics of a Ponzi scheme. Another hypothesis is that FTX's founder wished for the business to become more profitable.
He continued, "His plan went awry either when Alameda began to lose money or he merely wanted Alameda to generate more money." He took on enormous, wholly unnecessary risk with regard to FTX, perhaps initially in an effort to increase its profitability and ultimately in an effort to keep it afloat.
Another significant distinction between the two Ponzies is that although Sam Bankman-Fried lent people money against their will, Madoff intentionally caused them to lose money.
SBF's current net worth
SBF peaked with a net worth of more than $16 billion. However, the collapse of FTX caused crypto's once-shining hero to lose 98% of his wealth in a single day.
