People who are just kind of on the outside looking at when everything collapsed earlier this year.

So when that when the when crypto like fell apart, when a lot of crypto fell apart earlier this year and like a bunch of places went under, FTX was one of the ones that stayed stable and actually were buying up a bunch of like failing crypto companies to try to like prop up the industry.
They just collapsed.
