Description

Free Market Institute Speaker Series — May 2Scam, Bank Run, and Fraud?In November 2022, the cryptocurrency exchange known as FTX collapsed. The speed with which it collapsed was shocking, especially given the meteoric rise of the company and the reputation of its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, as an eccentric financial genius. In this talk, Josh Hendrickson explores the cause of the collapse of FTX. Was it a scam? A bank run? Fraud? After answering these questions, he then contrasts the recent turmoil in cryptocurrency markets with the original cypherpunk vision for a private, electronic form of cash. This program will take place on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, from 5:30 – 6:30 PM, in the Cavness Science Building – Room 100 (2460 Dena Drive, San Angelo, TX 76909) at Angelo State University. This event is free and open to the Angelo State University community and the general public. (ASU students attending for extra credit are encouraged to pre-register and arrive early for check-in.)
