FTX CEO Issues Scam Warning After UK Finance Regulator Suggests the Exchange is Operating Unlawfully
Soon after the financial regulator of the United Kingdom issued a warning to consumers against the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried, CEO & founder of the platform, took to Twitter to warn them about a scammer instead.
The CEO warned that “a scammer has been impersonating FTX in the UK by phone.”
A day prior, in a statement posted to its website, the Financial Conduct Authority informed customers that it suspected FTX was operating without proper authorization in the country.
