It’s been a weird month for everyone in the cryptocurrency industry, to say the least.


A CoinDesk article put its parent organization, into a bit of a bind; the mainstream media seemed to whitewash Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) at first blush; and now it comes to light that The Block’s former CEO borrowed money from SBF to buy the controlling interest in the company.
