FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried Charged With Fraud

Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas on December 13, 2022. Bahamas law enforcement received notice of criminal charges from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York (SDNY).

Prosecutors charged SBF with fraud and money laundering. The CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also filed similar charges. According to the CFTC’s complaint, Bankman-Fried reallocated FTX customer assets to Alameda Research, his trading firm.

FTX CEO John Ray told Congress that Alameda exposed client funds to huge margin trading losses. The CFTC alleged that Alameda’s liabilities on FTX exceeded $8 billion. Charges from the SEC also accused SBF of defrauding customers, lenders, and investors.

Bankman-Fried was spotted in police custody outside a Bahamas court on December 14, 2022. The judge denied his lawyer’s request for a $250,000 bail. SBF’s next court date is February 8, 2023.
