Knowing little about how ftx works... Is the article talking about customer accounts at FTX being drained? Or accounts belonging to FTX being drained?


FTX is a centralized entity, just like PayPal is. There is no such difference. As a centralized company, they are supposed to hold all customer funds in their own bank/wallet/whatever account(s).


iait may be centralized but there's no comparison to PayPal. PayPal does not commingle funds


Paypal keeps separate bank accounts for each customer?


The claim is that PayPal keeps user funds separately from the funds that PayPal e.g. uses to pay for operating expenses.
