Rahul Ligma did it again. This time the prankster posed as a laid off FTX employee in the Bahamas. He even gave a byte to a journalist and muttered some random statements.

The video shows Rahul Ligma standing outside the FTX headquarters in the Bahamas with a box with headphones, a diary and some other stuff. He says that the crypto exchange has sacked the entire team of data engineers at their headquarters in the Bahamas and that it is very tough for him and his family as it was his 'second job in a month'.
