Over the following two weeks, the crypto community investigated and found SBF guilty of manipulating and mis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ropriating users\u2019 funds, ultimately leading to the fall of the empire of roughly 130 companies built by SBF.<\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, the crypto community openly criticized SBF and his accomplices, including Caroline Ellison.
