Former FTX US President gets funding from Coinbase and Circle for new startup

Brett Harrison served as President of FTX US for 17 months before he quit in September last year. And according to the 49-tweet thread he posted a few days ago, it was not easy dealing with disgraced founder Sam Bankman-Fried.
