While it’s undeniable that companies were significantly affected by the FTX debacle, retail investors like Jaime Zulueta – who recently just got married – also bore the burden of trusting a trading platform that ended up collapsing to oblivion. 

When asked about how they felt when they found out about the collapse of FTX, Zulueta said that he was "saddened and surprised" because some of their personal funds were at the exchange. Zulueta’s partner, who chose to remain anonymous, was also devastated by the news. The crypto investor explained:

“She was equally shocked and saddened. We could not sleep properly for a few days.”
