But you're comparing legitimate product from a well known company producing a well known line of product no reasonable person would find suspicious to some unknown a******s making an illegitimate product in a line of products known almost exclusively for being scams.

The issue, though, is that you can't really hold people hired to act in commercials for a product/service responsible for researching it well enough to be responsible for how that commercial misleads the public. Acting in a commercial isn't a formal endorsement based on any sort of qualifications, it just means they did a few hours of acting for a paycheque.

Now, I could potentially see the actors in question suing FTX for defamation if their images suffer for the extent to which the service they advertised turned out to be terrible. I'd be surprised if that isn't precluded by their contracts, though.
