Recently, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) and his family became the target of various threats and harassment due to the collapse of FTX, a crypto exchange which caused multi-billion investor losses and turned SBF into one of the most controversial figures in the crypto space.

The latest incident occurred when three men drove their vehicle into a metal barricade outside SBF’s parents‘ house in California. According to the lawyers of SBF, the men threatened to “not be able to keep us out” before leaving the scene. Following the event, the family admitted to the intense media scrutiny and physical threats they experienced as a result of the incident.

Moreover, the US authorities accused SBF of being the main culprit behind the collapse of FTX, committing crimes such as money laundering and fraud. As a result, the 30-year-old became one of the most infamous figures in the cryptocurrency space.

Unfortunately, the current situation of SBF and his family is symptomatic of the dark side of the cryptocurrency space. Many are often put in compromising situations due to the lack of proper regulations and enforcement in the industry. It remains to be seen what kind of long-term impact this will have on the industry and how it will shape the future of the crypto space.
