Why is there so little reporting on FTX?
I know it's still a developing situation and there's probably a reason for not posting something yet, but the fiasco around FTX is huge and will be developing for years to come. That said, I can only find a total of one news article about this written almost a week ago: https://www.techspot.com/news/96611...ing-seismic-shockwaves-throughout-crypto.html
The only other article mentioning it was written by a guest editor which was not even about crypto or FTX specifically and they still felt the need to reference the situation. Many of the commenters on this site have doubts about crypto (especially NFTs), and this is certainly a topic of interest by your readers. I've always felt TechSpot has been pretty balanced with its news reporting by focusing on the facts and letting readers share opinions/conclusions, and obviously not all the facts are known about this whole situation. That said, I'm sure that TechSpot can easily at least do a good job with reporting the events that have played out. This is huge in the tech industry with at least $8 billion in wealth destroyed affecting possibly over a million unique creditors owed money in the bankruptcy case. The fact that there's a number of high profile figures/institutions involved makes it more important to report.
I can think of a number of reasons to answer my question: if there's a WIP article not yet published, you don't have a writer comfortable with taking this on, you're concerned/preparing for the amount of moderation from inevitable arguments that'll come afterwards, you're waiting on more information to be released. It just feels like TechSpot has avoided writing anything since Binance canned talks of acquiring FTX, FTX filed for bankruptcy, hundreds of million of dollars worth of tokens were stolen from FTX users, and SBF's ongoing bizarre behavior.
