FTX’s Invitation-Only Island Event Looks Like a Wash

While we know that the former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) plans to speak at the New York Times (NYT) Dealbook summit, people are curious about the upcoming Crypto Багамы conference. 2022’s inaugural Crypto Багамы conference was hosted in Nassau and the event hosted a litany of well known speakers including former U.S. president Билл Клинтон.

Other 2022 speakers included the former prime minister of the United Kingdom, Tony Blair, seven-time Super Bowl Champion and co-founder of Autograph, Том Брэди, and the prime minister of the Bahamas Philip “Brave” Davis. 2023’s event is likely to be a wash, but with the current events surrounding the now-defunct exchange, you never can tell.

For instance, Andrew Ross Sorkin ырастады ал болчу айтып with SBF at NYT’s Dealbook summit, and the new FTX CEO recently түшүндүрдү to the bankruptcy court that some of the company’s business assets may be salvageable. As far as the Crypto Bahamas conference is concerned, the Skybridge Capital-backed туз is listed to co-host the forum.

Just before the FTX collapse and the following Chapter 11 банкроттук жөнүндө арыз, Salt’s events page баса the Crypto Bahamas 2023 conference on the website. At the time of writing, on Нояб 25, 2022, the event is still hosted on Salt’s events page and it links to the Crypto Bahamas web portal. True to SBF’s secretive inner circle lifestyle and his mysterious dealings, Crypto Bahamas 2022 was an invitation-only event that saw 2,000 attendees.

While SBF’s exclusive 2023 Crypto Bahamas event will likely be canceled, the Wall Street Journal билдирди on Nov. 25, 2022, that “FTX’s collapse has left many islanders feeling frustrated.” The Bahamas prime minister Philip Davis appeared with FTX executives when the company purchased a sprawling portion of land on the island, which is now in the hands of provisional liquidators.

While you can only inquire with Salt about the 2023 event right now, 2022 ticket prices ranged between $3K to $5K per event attendee. In May, the financial news publication Business Insider деп аталат the event a “$614-a-night affair.”

Энтони Scaramucci told Business Insider (BI) last May that FTX executives said they wanted to get into the conference industry with his firm. “In our debrief with our sponsors, the FTX guys wanted us to consider them getting a little bit deeper into the conference business with us,” Scaramucci said at the time.

The Skybridge executive also noted that the 2022 event was supposed to be smaller than the more than 2,000 people that ended up attending Crypto Bahamas 2022. “Frankly, we had to start turning people away,” Scaramucci explained in his May interview with BI.

“It’s an island. So we had a certain amount of food that we ordered, we ordered a certain amount of refreshments and things like that. So we just said, ‘Look, I’m sorry, you can’t come,’” Scaramucci added. Other Crypto Bahamas 2022 sponsors included the Solana Foundation, Galaxy Digital, Elliptic, Ripple, Blockfi, and Google Cloud.
