Ludwig gives a warning and voiced his views about the situation surrounding the ex-CEO of FTX and the cryptocurrency

Surprisingly, Ludwig started his recently posted video by saying that he wouldn’t commence with any humor related-anecdotes in this one. Moreover, he warned his viewers by saying, “Today I’m giving you a warning and I hope you heat it very carefully. If you have crypto, do one of two things; if it’s on some site like Coinbase or in FTX, which we’re going to talk about today, throw that on a cold wallet immediately. A wallet that you have to remember 30 words for it to log into, it’s much safer and nobody can f*** with your money, or just sell it all.”

Moving forward, Ludwig drew instances and tweets published by the respective companies. Chiefly, Ludwig described the proceedings that went on before FTX filed for bankruptcy. Moreover, he did try to sum up the happenings by drawing a simple chronology.

Ludwig said, “Now the way this worked in the actual world is that allegedly FTX and specifically Sam transferred funds from FTX. From users who are investing into crypto to Alameda research, and then Alameda research would go right back and invest that money into FTT token. So, basically taking money from investors into different coins putting it into an investment group that would then put the money back into the coin, and then there that with a coin would go up and the people were like damn I cannot f******* miss.”
