Bankman-Fried's FTX Empire Holds $1.2B Cash Reserves; Senators Ask Fidelity to Reconsider Bitcoin 401(k)

Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX empire has $1.2 billion in cash as of Nov. 20, far below the $3.1 billion it owes its top 50 creditors.

Bitcoin miner Core Scientific (CORZ) ended October with $32.2 million in cash and 62 BTC ($975,000), reiterating it may run out of money before the end of the year.
