Man, the amount of misinformation is insane.

I exchanged messages with President Nayib a few moments ago. He said "we don’t have any Bitcoin in FTX and we never had any business with them. Thank God!" https://t.co/CrM5wd24Ha

However, after the tweet by Binance’s CEO regarding the rumor, Novogratz apologized to President Bukele and the citizens of El Salvador at large, saying that he ought to have confirmed the news before questioning Bukele.

Apologies to @nayibbukele and the people of El Salvador. I fell for ‘fake news’ and while I mentioned I hadn’t confirmed it, I should have.

Thanks @cz_binance for pointing it out.

I am a huge fan of what you are doing in El Salvador.
