Anthony Scaramucci had a relationship with FTX that dated back to last year. Back in September 2022, FTX Ventures announced the purchase of a 30% stake in the investment firm Skybridge Capital, which was founded by Anthony Scaramucci.
Scaramucci is a financier who, for a brief period in 2017, held the position of White House Director of Communications. FTX was also on an acquisition spree and was also acting as a last resort for several bankrupt firms after the demise of Terra. However, things turned upside down for FTX later on.
