Sam Bankman-Fried was born in California on March 6, 1992. Bankman-Fried, the son of two Stanford Law School professors, was raised in a highly educated family. He completed his high school education at Hillsborough, California’s Crystal Springs Uplands School. During this time, he took part in a math summer academic program for academically talented high school students.
Prior to his digital currency empire coming to an abrupt end, he rose to fame as the CEO of one of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, with a personal net worth that once came close to $26 billion.
In response to the news, the CEO of FTX rival Binance declared on November 6 that he will sell out all of his FTT holdings. The announcement and sales not only reduced the value of FTT but also wiped out the other cryptocurrency exchanges.
