During his time as CEO of FTX Sam Bankman-Fried pay a variety of Celebrities to Endorse the brand including Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, Stephen Curry & Larry David. However it has now been revealed that SBF paid KEVIN O'LEARY $18 Million to promote FTX as a business and a credible business investment opportunity. FTX was the second largest CRYPTO Currency Exchange and is now in Chapter 11 BANKRUPTCY with over 1 Million Creditors. John Ray, the Bankruptcy practitioner for Enron, has been appointed as CEO and his initial findings are that this is WORSE than Enron which was the biggest accounting fraud in USA history. In this video I analyze and discuss Kevin O'Leary's total U turn on Crypto, his reasons for working with SBF, the Due Diligence that he undertook and his current views on both SBF and Crypto.
