In the wake of the FTX fiasco and all the crypto damage that accompanied it, Wall Street and Main Street are demanding answers from the man behind it all, Sam Bankman-Fried, and the investors that helped prop up his faulty business. Venture capitalist, Shark Tank investor, and co-host of Money Court Kevin O’Leary took an equity stake in the business and became a spokesperson for the now-bankrupt FTX, but today, he admits that he and his fellow investors made a mistake. Joe Kernen, Becky Quick, and Andrew Ross Sorkin ask O’Leary about his due diligence practices for investments, and Mr. Wonderful details his most recent conversation with former FTX CEO SBF in an attempt to find the millions that have gone missing.. Plus, WNBA star Brittney Griner has been released from Russian prison, China is deciding between two risky Covid-policy options, and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has split with another co-chief executive, raising questions about the leadership tension in the “cloud.”
