CoinDesk won the Gerald Loeb Award for News for reporting on the SBF incident

ChainCatcher news, CoinDesk reporters have received the Gerald Loeb Award, which is widely regarded as the highest honor in financial and business journalism. They exposed the fragile foundations of SBF's crypto empire and vividly documented the rapid, astonishing, and absurd decline of this industry giant.

The story originated from a CoinDesk article by reporter Allison published on November 2, 2022, titled SBF article, which raised questions about the strength of Bankman-Fried's large trading firm Alameda Research and the safety of the more well-known cryptocurrency exchange FTX associated with the billionaire. Just nine days after the story was published, Bankman-Fried's company entered bankruptcy court.
