Coffeezilla grills FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried after company crashes Coffeezilla\/ Sam Bankman-FriedYouTuber Coffeezilla landed two interviews with the founder of FTX Sam Bankman-Fried, grilling him on a handful of topics regarding how the cryptocurrency exchange company went under. Coffeezilla has become the predominant voice on YouTube when it comes to investigating the world of cryptocurrency. Throughout his journey documenting the crypto world, there\u2019s been one person he\u2019s tried to interview but could never seem to get a hold of Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO and founder of FTX. The company made headlines in November 2022 after imploding overnight and declaring bankruptcy. Now, Coffee finally got the opportunity to interview SBF and certainly held his feet to the fire. Coffeezilla interviews FTX founder in Twitter Spaces On December 4, Coffeezilla uploaded a video titled, \u201cI Accidentally Interviewed SBF And He Hated It.\u201d In the video, Coffeezilla interviews Sam two different times during live Twitter Spaces, which were held the day prior. The YouTuber started by going after Fried\u2019s $8 billion budget shortfall, which he claims he and the company \u201cmiscalculated,\u201d which led to their collapse. Coffeezilla brought up that he was \u201cskeptical\u201d of SBF\u2019s explanation for the errors, and said that he\u2019d \u201ctalked to insiders\u201d from Sam\u2019s other company, Alameda Research, and claimed the anonymous employees laughed when Coffee brought up the idea that Sam wouldn\u2019t know what was going on inside the company. The sources said Sam is \u201cclaiming to be stupid now, when (before) he was this genius wunderkind.\u201d The YouTuber then demanded an explanation, to which SBF replied, \u201cI Don\u2019t know what to say. I had a lot going on. I was spread thin and a bit less grounded than I had been before. I lost track of a lot of important things.\u201d Both interviews were cut relatively short, and the video, in its entirety, is just 26 minutes long. Seeing that Bankman has given other outlets extensive interviews, some going beyond the two-hour mark, it seems like he wasn\u2019t interested in being under the microscope of Coffeezill for much longer than he was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
