How Tom Brady Lost All His Money on FTX

Validated Project

Tom Brady, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, has lost his entire net worth on the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which went insolvent yesterday. 

The news comes as a devastating blow to Brady, who is known to have all of his money — $650 million — invested on the now-insolvent exchange.

How could did this happen? Let’s take a closer look.

The second largest cryptocurrency exchange FTX went bankrupt yesterday, leaving millions of investors stranded with no hope of getting their money back. Brady is believed to be one of them, as he is one of the exchange’s biggest supporters and brand ambassadors. Brady and his ex-wife Bündchen often appeared in commercials for FTX.

“It’s an incredibly exciting time in the crypto-world and Sam and the FTX team continue to open my eyes to the endless possibilities”, Brady ones said when asked about his FTX partnerships.

Brady’s ex-wife Gisele Bündchen last year said “Sam (FTX CEO) and I have a role in safeguarding our planet. I look forward to working with the FTX team to create a posivitve impact in our world!”

Yes, you heard that right. She literally said “safeguarding our planet” and “positive impact in our world” while promoting a fraudulent cryptocurrency exchange to her millions of followers.

With FTX being insolvent and their investors unable to withdraw their funds, Brady and Gisele are estimated to have lost $650 million.

Brady has yet to comment on the situation, but it’s likely that he is feeling immense pressure right now, given that he is in the midst of a divorce with his ex-wife Bündchen.

This is a cautionary tale for all investors: be careful where you put your money, especially when it comes to cryptocurrencies. Not your keys, not your coins!(BY Crypto Hub )

  • Yushu Technology's Wang Xingxing: Key to Breakthrough in Embodied Intelligence Lies in Solving Millimeter-Level Error Issues

    On September 25, the 5th Global Digital Trade Expo was held in Hangzhou, where Wang Xingxing, founder of Yushu Technology, delivered a keynote speech titled "From Machinery to Intelligence - The Evolutionary Theory of Embodied Future." Wang stated that the embodied intelligence industry may soon experience a critical breakthrough similar to that of ChatGPT. He believes that when robots can complete approximately 80% of tasks through voice interaction and embodied intelligence capabilities in about 80% of unfamiliar environments, the industry will enter a critical phase of large-scale application. He pointed out that the ability for robots to understand and execute specific tasks based on voice commands has already made breakthroughs last year, but the industry still faces a core technological bottleneck, namely the precise matching issue between artificial intelligence models and the real physical world. Wang noted that currently, robots still have a few millimeters of error during actual operations, which limits their stability and reliability in complex environments. "In the future, whoever can solve this problem will fundamentally resolve the issues with robots."

  • Swissquote Analyst Warns AI Narrative is a Core Pillar of US Stocks, Potential Break Could Trigger Significant Correction

    On September 25, Ipek Ozkardeskaya, a senior analyst at Swissquote Bank, stated that broad market indices and retirement funds are now deeply tied to the AI wave, with technology stocks accounting for about 40% of the S&P 500 index. She pointed out that the market capitalization weight of just three chip manufacturers makes up over 25% of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Ozkardeskaya indicated that AI has become the 'core pillar' of the market, and this pillar 'must not show any cracks.' She believes that, in the short term, the US stock market will continue to be supported by seasonal factors, and the current market uptrend may extend until the end of the year. However, she also warned that the worst-case scenario would be a shake in the investment logic surrounding AI, which could undermine market confidence in the AI narrative, potentially triggering a significant market correction.
