Last checked: 4/9/2026

The record claims Sam Bankman-Fried was 'Founder & CEO' of FTX with startDate 2017 and endDate 2022-11. The source confirms he founded FTX and was CEO, and confirms the November 2022 end date (bankruptcy/collapse). However, the source does not explicitly state that he was a co-founder or provide the exact founding date of FTX (only that he founded it). The source does mention he co-founded Alameda Research in November 2017, but the FTX founding date is not explicitly stated in the provided excerpt. The claim is substantially correct but not fully detailed in the source text.
