Associates of FTX founder Bankman-Fried plead guilty to criminal charges

Two top associates of Sam Bankman-Fried have pleaded guilty to criminal charges in the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX in cooperation deals, a federal prosecutor announced Wednesday in a stunning development that came as the digital coin entrepreneur was being flown in FBI custody to the US from the Bahamas. Carolyn Ellison, the 28-year-old former CEO of Alameda Research, a trading firm started by Bankman-Fried, and Gary Wang, the 29-year-old who co-founded FTX, pleaded guilty to charges related to their roles in the fraud that contributed to FTX's collapse, US Attorney Damian Williams said on Wednesday night in a video statement released on social media. They are both cooperating with the Southern District of New York, Williams said, adding that anyone else who participated in the fraud should also reach out to his office because our patience is not eternal. He promised that his office continued to work on the case around the clock, noting that he'd said in announcing .

FTX's Bankman-Fried charged with fraud; could face up to 115 yrs in prison

U.S. prosecutors charged Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, with a host of financial crimes and campaign finance violations on Tuesday, alleging he played a central role in the rapid collapse of FTX and hid its problems from the public and investors. The indictment says that, beginning in 2019, Bankman-Fried intentionally devised a scheme and artifice to defraud FTX's customers and investors, diverting their money to pay expenses and debts at his crypto hedge fund, Alameda Research, and to make lavish real estate purchases and large political donations. Bankman-Fried was arrested Monday by Bahamian authorities at the request of the U.S. government, which charged him with eight criminal violations, ranging from wire fraud to money laundering to conspiracy to commit fraud. He was also charged with making illegal campaign contributions, a notable charge as Bankman-Fried was one of the largest political donors this year. The indictment is on to

$740 million in crypto assets recovered in FTX bankruptcy so far

The company tasked with locking down the assets of the failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX says it has managed to recover and secure USD740 million in assets so far, a fraction of the potentially billions of dollars likely missing from the company's coffers. The numbers were disclosed on Wednesday in court filings by FTX, which hired the cryptocurrency custodial company BitGo hours after FTX filed for bankruptcy on November 11. The biggest worry for many of FTX's customers is they'll never see their money again. FTX failed because its founder and former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and his lieutenants used customer assets to make bets in FTX's closely related trading firm, Alameda Research. Bankman-Fried was reportedly looking for upwards of USD8 billion from new investors to repair the company's balance sheet. Bankman-Fried "proved that there is no such thing as a safe' conflict of interest, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe said in an email. The USD740 million figure is from November 16. BitGo ...

'Substantial amount' of assets has been stolen, say FTX lawyers

Lawyers for FTX disclosed Tuesday that a "substantial amount" of assets has been stolen from the accounts of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange, diminishing the odds that its millions of investors will get their money back. The admission came during FTX's first court appearance since the company filed for bankruptcy protection on November 11. Such hearings typically happen days after a filing, but this one was delayed because FTX's collapse came suddenly and management kept few if any records. "This company was run by inexperienced, unsophisticated and potentially personally compromised individuals," said James Bromley, a partner with Sullivan & Cromwell, the law firm hired by FTX's debt holders to navigate the company through bankruptcy. "It is one of the most abrupt and difficult company collapses in the history of corporate America." FTX, short billions of dollars, sought bankruptcy protection after the exchange experienced the crypto equivalent of a bank run. The company ...
