Resignation from OKCoin

It's quite well-known that Zhao resigned from OKCoin in February 2015 (and a scandal followed), but unfortunately none of the mainstream English-language media covered that at the time, while CoinTelegraph, CoinDesk, CCN etc. (as well as blogs) aren't accepted as reliable sources on living persons' articles. If someone finds a source on language other than English (Chinese?), please add it. Ain92 (talk) 09:18, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contributed to collapse of FX exchange

Need a section that describes Zhao's hand in destroying its competitor FTX exchange. Zhao was given FTT tokens in payment for the sale of his stake in FTX. Zhao dumped his holdings of FTT after hearing of SBFs lobbying efforts against Zhao. When Zhao dumped his FTT, it caused the token to lose 90% of its value. FTX kept FTT as an asset on its books and borrowed against it, thus triggering margin calls and liquidity crises ...and a possible bankruptcy of filing FTX. 2600:6C56:6408:71:7972:A701:AB23:86C (talk) 05:44, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Zhao's dumping FTT (and his tweets about it) directly led to the FTX house of cards collapsing. He singlehandedly started a "bank run' on FTT. Enigma^msg 18:20, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
