Before it filed for bankruptcy in November, crypto exchange FTX was this year’s largest advertiser among crypto companies. Needless to say, it overspent ⏤ but not before hordes of influencers convinced their followers to deposit money into FTX. The exchange then proceeded to “lose” $8 billion of its customers’ money.
