Tom Brady Roasted Over Crypto Fiasco in Netflix Special: A Look Inside 'The Roast of Tom Brady

In a recent Netflix special, "The Roast of Tom Brady," the former NFL star faced comedic jabs about his involvement with the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX. Comedian Kevin Hart joked about the event not being held at the Crypto.com Arena, suggesting it was to avoid reminding fans of Brady's alleged financial obligations. Comedian Nikki Glaser also took a swipe at Brady, mentioning his reported $30 million loss in cryptocurrency and referencing his former teammate Rob Gronkowski's scepticism about crypto. Brady and his wife Gisele Bündchen were named in a class-action lawsuit related to their promotion of FTX, which filed for bankruptcy in November 2022 amid revelations of mismanagement and misuse of customer funds. Brady had reportedly received compensation in FTX shares for his promotional activities. Despite his involvement in the crypto industry, including plans for his own NFT platform, interest waned, leading to a shift in focus for the venture in 2023.
