“Was FTX a publicly traded company?”
Read the article. Paragraphs 1 and 2.
I did read the article.
It appears to be a privately held company.
However, it might be trading on the Pink Sheets (look it up), and I cannot find the symbol.
Anyway, my main point holds - how can the IRS tax shares of a private business as income if there is no way to establish the value of those shares?
