Brett Harrison Formerly FTX US President Surfaces on Twitter - What Does He Know?
Brett Harrison, former president of the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX US, has said he will share more details regarding the exchange when the time is good.
In response to a Twitter user who asked Harrison what did he know about FTX US and when did he know it, he replied, "I’ll share in time." He didn't provide any further information nor did he reply to a question asking whether he’s working with US regulators or prosecutors.
He also replied to a Twitter user expressing surprise that he’s “not in jail” with the response “use powers of inference.”
Harrison joined FTX as president of FTX US in May 2021 and announced his departure in late September 2022. At the time, he didn't disclose why he is leaving his role but said he will remain as an advisor at the company. He added:
"I’m remaining in the industry with the goal of removing technological barriers to full participation in and maturation of global crypto markets, both centralized and decentralized."
Prior to joining FTX US, Harrison had worked for almost two years at market maker Citadel Securities and more than seven years as the head of trading systems technology at investment firm Jane Street.
In December, The Information reported that Harrison is seeking to raise $6 million for a new crypto startup focused on building crypto trading software for big investors at a valuation of $60 million.
