Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX Spurred Almost $300M Loss for Crypto Market Maker Jump Trading, Michael Lewis Says in ‘Going Infinite’

The book says Jump was “near the top” of the list of FTX’s 50 “biggest accounts whose owners had been unable to remove their money from the crypto exchange,” Lewis wrote. Jump Trading lost $206 million while its affiliated trading firm, Tai Mo Shan Ltd., lost more than $75 million, according to the book, which cited documents discovered by Constance Wang, ex-chief operating officer of FTX.
