How did they ultimately fare?

A sizable number of well-known crypto experts were dispersed throughout the various levels after the conclusion of the study. Sam Bankman-Fried has established himself as the most well-known crypto figure of 2022, citing the study's conclusions.

Due to these scandalous incidents, he shot up the list of most-cited crypto figures from ninth in 2021 to first in 2022.

Changpeng Zhao from Binance comes in at #2 and has also made waves. CZ's rise in 2022 was from 4.44% to 7.16% when compared to his overall number of mentions in headers as of 2021.

On the list of those with the most fame, Do Kwon came in fifth.
