The owner of the Twitter account belonging to NFT project Little Shapes, who appears to be the creator, learned yesterday about the collapse of FTX after waking from a five-month coma. The unnamed individual posted about the accident that he suffered back in July but that he was now awake and leaving hospital and ready to continue working on the project.
