Celebrities who once endorsed the cryptocurrency platform FTX have remained notably quiet since its disgraced founder was arrested on Monday. A-listers including Tom Brady and his now ex-wife Gisele Bündchen, Shaquille O'Neal and even Larry David have done advertisements endorsing the cryptocurrency exchange and expressing their faith in Sam Bankman-Fried. 'Earlier this evening, Bahamian authorities arrested Samuel Bankman-Fried at the request of the U.S. Government, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY,' Williams wrote. None of these celebrities have said anything about the matter, even after Bankman-Fried was arrested. The list of names in the filing includes: 'Sam Bankman-Fried, Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors, Shaquille O’Neal, Udonis Haslem, David Ortiz, William Trevor Lawrence, Shohei Ohtani, Naomi Osaka, Lawrence Gene David, and Kevin O’Leary.'
