About this event
Breaking down the FTX Collapse through Visual Modeling
You might have heard of the epic rise and fall of the crypto exchange FTX and its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, who will be facing trial for federal fraud charges later this year. How could such a promising and endorsed name in the industry be worth over $32bn one week and file for bankruptcy the next?
And more importantly, why is this an important lesson for every professional advisor and company exec to learn when it comes to the importance of diagnosing risks and regulating corporate governance in deals with ever-increasing complexities?
Join our webinar hosted by our Head of Customer Success, Owen Oliver, Breaking down the FTX Collapse through Visual Modeling, live on Tuesday, 21st February at 16:00 GMT.
He will be joined by our expert panel:
- Alex Zerden, Founder and Principal of Capitol Peak Strategies
- Tariq Khan, Partner at Outrun Ventures

We’ll be deep-diving into…
- The unexpected rise of a digital platform that acted as a ‘custodian’, holding 8 million customers’ crypto assets at one point and earning huge endorsement from mainstream media, despite having little to no corporate governance
- The complex events that led to the crash of the FTX crypto-empire
- Four main problem areas we’ve categorized and visualized (using StructureFlow) that peel back the layers of FTX’s defective corporate and financial controls.
