Anthony Scaramucci, the Founder of SkyBridge Capital and Former White House Communications Director said he is willing to support the former President of FTX.US, Brett Harrison by investing funds in his new crypto software company.
The news was first reported by Bloomberg. Meanwhile, a previous report from the news outlet claimed Brett Harrison was seeking funds for his new startup at a valuation of about $100 million. It also highlighted that the new firm was created to help crypto traders build algorithms for their strategies and also help them access both the centralized and decentralized crypto markets.
Scaramucci confirmed his support for Harrison on Twitter, stating that he is a proud investor in the new software company. He made the statement in response to Harrison’s Twitter thread, which shed light on the FTX defunct exchange and its former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried.
Brett I am proud to be an investor in your new company. Go forward. Don’t look back. Wishing you the best.

It is worth noting that Scaramucci had a professional and personal relationship with Sam Bankman-Fried prior to the demise of FTX.
When the allegations of fraud against Bankman-Fried were first made public, Scaramucci had said he wouldn’t link FTX’s liquidity issue to fraud. He, however, urged Bankman-Fried to reveal the truth to his clients and creditors
