Kind of reminds me of Pets.com going broke when the dot.com bubble burst, right after spending millions of dollars on Super Bowl commercials.
Oh, and then there's Enron, who also liked buying up naming rights from sports teams.
What's ironic about the FTX scam is that the celebrities who shilled for it, were probably some of the few people that actually received any actual real money compensation for helping build the pyramid.
I doubt Larry David embarrassed himself like he did, for a piece of that shithole company. Likely they gave him and all the other celebrities a big giant check in U.S. dollars, wrote that money off, and buried it at the bottom of the pyramid, just waiting for too many people to try and cash out at once.
Don't think anybody has a leg to stand on going after the hired mouthpieces though. Otherwise celebrities and spokespeople far and wide would have already been taken down by drunk driving and smoking lawsuits.
