Bitmex Co-Founder Accuses Former FTX CEO of Avoiding Transparency
Артур Хейз, co-founder of the cryptocurrency derivatives platform Bitmex, criticized Sam Bankman-Fried, former CEO of FTX, following a recent blog post. In the блог, Bankman-Fried said “Alameda failed to sufficiently hedge its market exposure” and “an extreme, quick, targeted crash precipitated by the CEO of Binance made Alameda insolvent.” Hayes, a көрүнүктүү мүчөсү of the cryptocurrency community, has significant knowledge about cryptocurrency derivatives exchanges, as Bitmex was one of the largest since its inception in 2014.
“The exchange should never lose money if a customer gets liquidated,” Hayes шопурлуктан on Friday. “There is no excuse [for] giving [your] hedge fund Alameda an account with liquidation turned off. All this talk about what Alameda did is misdirection. It doesn’t matter how they hedged or didn’t hedge, or what dogsh** was in their portfolio,” the Bitmex co-founder added.
Hayes then told Bankman-Fried if he truly wanted to explain what happened, he should tell the community why he thought it was a good idea to give his hedge fund an account with the liquidation feature turned off. Former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison’s отчеттуулук explain that she fully “understood that executives had implemented special settings on Alameda’s FTX.com account that allowed Alameda to maintain negative balances in fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies.”

Hayes emphasized that if Alameda was removed from the equation through a legitimate liquidation, Bankman-Fried’s now-defunct exchange could still be operational. “If you had liquidated Alameda like any other FTX punter, FTX would still be operational. It’s just that simple,” Hayes шопурлуктан. The Bitmex CEO Досторду кошо элек:
So stop talking about Alameda and tell us how you approached risk management at the FTX level. Why were some clients treated differently than others. I am keen to understand why you thought turning off liquidation on a $bn notional position was prudent.
Many people responded to the Twitter thread written by Hayes, and one person жазган: “Users paid for Alameda’s negative account equity. Shameful.” Others repeated Hayes’s sentiment, деп “it really is just that simple.” “It’s really the most basic question SBF keeps skirting around.
