After an apparent listing for Sam Bankman-Fried's luxury penthouse in the Bahamas went viral earlier this week, Fortune has learned that the listing was a fake, with the real estate firm describing it as a “web malfunction.” The page has since been taken down, with the URL now showing “page not found.” 

As details about FTX’s crumbling empire are released, including the first bankruptcy declaration on Thursday, the listing is a warning sign for the spread of misinformation in the high-profile case, as well as a curious mystery in the tight-knit world of Bahamian real estate.
