The last few years have not been that good for the cryptocurrency ecosystem as there have been continuous businesses that have taken fault or faced bankruptcy in the Crypto market We talk about the big exchanges that exist in this sphere like FTX for example which went bankrupt and did make a lot of investors lose their money on it apart from that there are a lot of other projects that was scams as well as many other exchanges that meant bankrupt as well which made the market quite skeptical towards cryptocurrencies.
The trial for the FTX case is still going on and there are a lot of other issues that are popping up as well said recently the most significant exchange in cryptocurrencies of Turkey namely Thodex got its founder arrested and sentenced to a very long-term in jail because of a similar scam and fraudulent activities that he did use to Cause when the exchange was in operation.
The CEO of Thodex, Faruk Fatih Ozer is a school dropout as well is now facing charges of leading a criminal organization and fraudulent activities as well as money laundering because of his field of cryptocurrency exchange. He founded the company back in 2017 and in the year of 2021 he announced that they were not going to be able to continue their operations Because of this a lot of investment by the investors of that particular cryptocurrency exchange was stuck over there but he promised that he will be repaying it and also return to Turkey once he does so as he went away from the country to Albania.
He has been sentenced to 11,916 years in prison as a punishment for his activities and he has been proven guilty as well after being extradited to Turkey earlier this year. According to him," I am quite smart to lead any Organisation in the world, and at the age of 22 he would not have acted so amateurishly if he knew he was leading a criminal organization"
The estimated loss that has been caused by the fall of this exchange as per the prosecutors is somewhere close to around 13 million US dollars but if it talks about the Turkish reports then the amount sums up to over 2 billion dollars. However, the actual amount remains to be unknown and unspecified as of now because there has been no clarity on that and we have to be relieving up on reports for now.
It is really unfortunate to see such activities happen in the Crypto ecosystem but we have to understand that it is also a part of any particular business as they can be bankrupt as well and these criminal activities makes it which definitely turn it is the image of the entire ecosystem but still we need to be looking forward to them and hoping for the best that the law authorities do get their job done and give the investors a safe place to get their money invested and also help them recover the last funds while punishing the people who do the wrong deeds as well.
The fallout of this new jail imprisonment sentence for such high profile Crypto exchange is going to cause some shock waves again in the Crypto market as during the time of FTX bankruptcy it was a Nightmare for the trip investors as everyone was simply selling and other exchanges to ahead because of that we fell and now it definitely it doesn't really look that but surely it is also going to call some ripples for sure.
Back in November 2022, the fall of FTX exchange ensured that a chain reaction started about a lot of other cryptocurrency exchanges facing bankruptcy in the upcoming months it was a very bad situation in the market which is not going to happen at this time around but indeed it is something that we need to be taking a lesson from and be very much careful before getting ourselves invested in some or the other businesses in any sector not just cryptocurrency aspect but can happen in other sectors as well.
But it looks quite good as it is getting more and more publicity as well as the law authorities are also taking action on these activities and not letting them slide which is something we need in the future as well when we are going to have more clarity on regulations about digital assets as well as the businesses that revolve around cryptocurrency was three as well as blocks in technology because and the moment it is kind of nonexisting in most parts of the world which is causing quite of bit of uncertainty in how this case is are going to be handled which is something that is bound to change in the upcoming years or so.
