The SkyBridge Capital co-founder said blockchain “skepticism is usually born from a lack of knowledge,” while sharing that his crypto holdings include Bitcoin, Ether, Solana and Algorand.
In a candid interview with Pandoraland at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Anthony Scaramucci, co-founder of SkyBridge Capital, lambasted Sam Bankman-Fried and clarified his crypto portfolio.
Scaramucci said he had actually trusted the former FTX CEO, whose crypto exchange imploded in late 2022. Scaramucci said throughout a panel preceding the interview that the “ninth circle of hell” is reserved for SBF. He added additional color to his remarks in his discussion with Pandoraland:
“I in fact thought he was the Mark Zuckerberg of crypto. I didn’t understand he was the Bernie Madoff. And that’s something I need to own. Therefore I own it.”
The “Mooch,” as he is understood, explained he’s delighted to discuss his errors in relying on SBF. “I like speaking about it because if I can prevent someone else from having a catastrophe like that, simply from learning from us, that’s worth it to me,” he explained.
Scaramucci is currently operating at clawing back his company’s share thatFTX lost. He is confident that the 30% stake that FTX Ventures obtained would be returned at some point in 2023.
