How the FTX Meltdown Happened—explained by Castle Island's Matt Walsh
About this episode
Where were the adults? How did SBF manage to get away with so much (thus far)? We brought on Castle Island's Matt Walsh to explain.
We're pissed. How are you feeling?
Matt gives us a breath of fresh air as he outlines the timeline of the rest of the contagion, how long the healing process will take, what happens next, and how we rebuild this industry we've all come to know and love.
