The FTX crypto fallout has been a big blow to all its investors, including those celebrities who endorsed the company and its future possibilities. The NFL quarterback Tom Brady was under the radar of fans and security regulators since the scandal broke out. While the situation hasn’t escalated against him, a Florida lawyer alleged the quarterback played a role in the overall losses.

Endorsement campaigns are often conducted to gain the trust of investors worldwide. And getting stars like Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, and Steph Curry for the job made the process a lot easier.

Tom Brady’s Influence

Moreover, the control of the company under a young 30-year-old Billionaire CEO Sam Bankman-Fried influenced the audience to invest heavily in such modern wealth creation techniques. But all this uphill took no time to head downwards. The crippling crypto world and the ongoing slump vaporized all the company’s wealth.

Poor techniques and mediocre management of money were speculated as the primary reason behind this fallout. While the SEC and Texas Security regulators had reportedly initiated a probe on this issue, Brady and other stars were expected to get dragged down soon.

Meanwhile, a Florida Lawyer who also happens to be a long-time Patriots fan recently blamed Tom Brady for his loss. He alleged to have lost nearly $30,000 in crypto investment after watching his favorite quarterback endorsing the company.

 “As a New England Patriots fan my entire life, you can imagine the influence that Tom Brady would have,” the 56-year-old legal clerk said. Similarly, another lawyer Adam Moskowitz along with more such plaintiffs were planning to shift their focus on celebrities, who have been associated with the company.
