Astonishingly, Bankman-Fried says his biggest mistake was filing for bankruptcy after FTX collapsed.
Despite his fundamental role in the failure of FTX, he claims 'everything would be ≈70% fixed right now if I hadn't [filed for bankruptcy]'
'If I hadn't done that, withdrawals would be opening up in a month with customers fully whole,' he said.
'But instead I filed and the people in charge of it are trying to burn it all to the ground out of shame.
'I might still get there but after way more collateral damage.'
He added: 'I have two weeks to raise $8 billion, that's basically all that matters for the rest of my life.'
