Congress will hold two public hearings to investigate the FTX collapse this week:
The House will hold the only hearing this week featuring FTX founder and former chief executive Sam Bankman-Fried. He is expected to testify virtually from the Bahamas, followed by testimony from FTX’s current CEO John Jay Ray III.
On Wednesday, the Senate will host a panel of experts along with Shark Tank investor and former FTX spokesperson Kevin O’Leary. Ben McKenzie, an actor best known for his role in The OC, is also expected to testify. Over the pandemic, McKenzie became a crypto skeptic and is currently working on a book slated for a 2023 release on the crypto industry and fraud.
Professor Hilary J. Allen of American University and Jennifer J. Schulp, director of financial regulation studies at the Cato Institute, will also provide testimony on Wednesday.
