This Week on Unchained: Martin Shkreli, 2022 Recap, and Crypto's Biggest Winners and Losers
Martin Shkreli, entrepreneur, investor and convicted white-collar criminal, talks about the new judge assigned to the case against Sam Bankman-Fried, whether SBF will plead guilty or not, and whether prosecutors would go after SBF’s parents.
Haseeb Qureshi, Robert Leshner, Tom Schmidt, and Tarun Chitra chop it up about the year 2022 in the crypto industry and share their biggest winners and losers of the year, what were the best mechanisms, the biggest surprises and the best memes, and their predictions for the upcoming year.
Unchained looks back on a tumultuous year for the cryptocurrency industry. Significant events such as the bankruptcies of FTX, Three Arrows Capital, Celsius, Voyager, BlockFi, the collapse of Terra/LUNA, market plunges and numerous hacks led to billions being lost.
This year also brought the Ethereum Merge, one of the most awaited events in crypto’s short history. Amidst the turmoil, true believers like Chris Burniske see a silver lining, while the crypto community watches for further fallout from this year’s crypto contagion to play out.
