Who is our webinar for?
- Professionals and leaders within the legal & financial fields
- Parties and stakeholders who work alongside volumes of contracts, laws, regulations, entities, documents and relationships of ever-increasing sophistication.
This webinar takes a deep dive into:
- The unexpected rise of a digital platform that acted as a ‘custodian’, holding 8 million customers’ crypto assets at one point and earning huge endorsement from mainstream media, despite having little to no corporate governance
- The complex events that led to the crash of the FTX crypto-empire
- Four main problem areas we’ve categorized and visualized (using StructureFlow) that peel back the layers of FTX’s defective corporate and financial controls.
