Fintech for the Common Good: Sam Bankman-Fried and the Fall of FTX

Throughout 2024, the Fintech for the Common Good interdisciplinary lecture series will host distinguished speakers from the fields of finance, law, and computer science to spur discussion and research collaborations at UMass Amherst.

A lecture by Raúl Carrillo of Columbia Law School on the rise and fall of the FTX crypto-trading platform will kick off the series on Tuesday, April 16 at 12:15 p.m. in the Commonwealth Honors College events hall. Carrillo regularly advises federal policymakers on regulatory matters and has previously served as special counsel to the enforcement director at the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The lecture is free and open to the public. This series is a collaboration among deans, faculty, and graduate students from the UMass Amherst College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, the Isenberg School of Management, and the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences.
