Sam Bankman breaks the silence after 2 years and makes the Crypto FTT jump

After two years of silence, the former CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman, currently imprisoned, made his return to social networks. This unexpected appearance caused a spectacular increase in the Crypto FTT course, reviving the interest of investors despite the historical collapse of the platform.

SBF resurfaces and triggers an outbreak of the Crypto FTT

On February 25, 2025, Sam Bankman-Fried, deposed founder of the Crypto FTX Empire, published a message on X from his Metropolitan Center Center in Brooklyn cell where he was serving a sentence of 25 years.

In this message, SBF has declared with irony that he had ” not checked her emails for a few hundred days ” and that ” Unemployment was much less relaxing than it seems ”making indirectly reference to the initiative of Elon Musk concerning the effectiveness of government employees.

The message also tackled the sensitive subject of layoffs, SBF saying that ” Losing people is one of the most difficult things in the world “And that it often was a failure of the company to” assign the suitable position »To employees. A statement that strangely resonates from the one who presided over the collapse of FTX and the loss of thousands of jobs.

This publication has been his first public appearance since January 19, 2023, when he had mentioned his testimony to the American Congress. Meanwhile, SBF was found guilty of seven charges including electronic fraud, securities fraud and raw material fraud, before being sentenced in March 2024.

A sawtooth value and an uncertain future

Following this publication, the FTX FTT FTT token experienced a meteoric increase of almost 30% in a few minutes, from $ 1.63 to more than $ 2, according to the data from CoinMarketCap. This phenomenon confirms the persistent influence of SBF on the market, despite its catastrophic judicial situation.

However, this rally was short -lived. In less than 30 minutes, the FTT price fell to $ 1.75, illustrating extreme volatility and the fragility of this asset. It should be remembered that the FTT token remains in a disastrous state, having lost more than 97% of its value compared to its historic summit of $ 85.02 reached on September 10, 2021, before the collapse of the Exchange FTX in November 2022.

This volatility comes in a particular context for FTX. The bankrupt Exchange recently started the process of reimbursement of its creditors, with a first wave of $ 800 million already distributed to 162,000 accounts. These reimbursements, calculated at November 2022 prices, are however criticized for their discrepancy with the current valuation of cryptos.

While SBF purges his sentence in Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, rumors circulate concerning his parents' steps to obtain presidential pardon from the Trump administration. This media return could be part of a broader strategy aimed at improving the public image of the former entrepreneur, formerly considered as a prodigy of Crypto finance.
