The claim site was down from almost moments when it went live, and was nearly inaccessible for hours. However, after the dust settled, the price hovered above what estimates predicted (>$1)...
Post FTX: Bananas In The Bahamas
FTX’s spectacular implosion sent ripples which was felt by all through the cryptoverse, but has also hit the people of the Bahamas, where FTX was headquartered. According to a report in the WSJ, the island nation initially welcomed FTX with it’s lax and favorable crypto laws and eventually the locals became the supporting cast for FTX employees.

Billionaire and crypto enthusiast, Kevin O'Leary aka Mr. Wonderful spoke about Tornado Cash and claims it was necessary for Tornado Cash to capitulate in order to usher in "rules-based" crypto regulation in order to bring real institutional capital. Although O'Leary sees vast potential for crypto, he has also been a vocal proponent of regulation for some time which a majority in the space do not agree with.
