Банкман-Фрид кызыктуу that FTX itself was not phished.
Still, he says his company plans to spend about $6 million to compensate FTX customers who were impacted by the attack.
CEO эскертүү that this is a one-time offer, however.
“Not only was this not FTX getting phished, it wasn’t even an FTX site. And in general, we can’t compensate for users getting phished by fake versions of other companies in the space! It isn’t FTX and we have basically no control over it.
But in this particular case, we will compensate the affected users. THIS IS A ONE-TIME THING AND WE WILL NOT DO THIS GOING FORWARD. THIS IS NOT A PRECEDENT. We will not be making a habit of compensating for users getting phished by fake versions of other companies!”
Bankman-Fried also says he’s open to absolving the scammers if they return the money.
