The Daily Money
 
Tuesday, December 13

Happy Tuesday, Daily Money readers. It's Paul Davidson bringing you today's news.

The scandal surrounding FTX, the failed cryptocurrency currency exchange, reached a boil over the past 24 hours as its founder was arrested in the Bahamas and charged with fraud just ahead of his scheduled testimony before Congress on Tuesday.

Sam Bankman-Fried is accused of using customers' money for trading by his investment company, Alameda Research. He had been scheduled to testify before the House Financial Services Committee. The controversy has affected about 1 million customers.

Inflation eases sharply for second straight month

There was good news on Americans' top economic concern: consumer prices. Inflation eased sharply for a second straight month in November as prices rose 7.1% annually, down from 7.7% in October and 40-year high of 9.1% in June.

Gasoline prices fell for the fourth time in five months, edging down 2%. That was offset by continued increases in rent and food costs, though both grocery and restaurant price gains are easing. Prices for services continue to rise as companies boost pay in response to worker shortages.
