Last week, Sam Bankman-Fried, founder and CEO of FTX, lost his billionaire status overnight as his personal wealth plummeted nearly 94 per cent to $991.5 million in a single day. The fall in his fortune came after the 30-year-old announced that his crypto exchange was being bought by rival Binance. Binance later pulled out of the deal.

The company, which filed for bankruptcy, said it had taken action to halt what it said were "unauthorized transactions." This comes a day after Bankman-Fried resigned.
