The battled cryptocurrency exchange FTX declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. CEO Sam Bankman-Fried resigned from his leadership position at the helm of the company, passing on the CEO role to John J. Ray III, a lawyer experienced with leading companies such as Enron Corp. through bankruptcies.
Elon Musk announced that he would abandon his tumultuous $44 billion offer to buy Twitter after the company failed to provide enough information about the number of fake accounts. Twitter immediately fired back, saying it would sue the Tesla CEO to uphold the deal. The likely unraveling of the acquisition was just the latest twist in a saga between the world’s richest man and one of the most influential social media platforms, and it may portend a titanic legal battle ahead.
