Behörden in der Türkei haben Berichten zufolge nach dem Zusammenbruch der Börse Vermögenswerte des ehemaligen FTX-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried beschlagnahmt. Bannkman-Fried wurde mehrfach in verschiedenen Ländern untersucht, seit FTX Insolvenz angemeldet hat.

Das türkische Schatz- und Finanzministerium veröffentlicht eine Erklärung, in der festgestellt wurde, dass eine Untersuchung zu Betrugsvorwürfen gegen den 30-jährigen Sam Bankman-Fried eingeleitet wurde. Die Regierung untersucht FTX sowie andere mit der Börse verbundene Unternehmen, wie Finanzinstitute und Unternehmen, die Kryptodienste anbieten.

The Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK), a division of the Ministry of Treasury and Finance, is in charge of both investigations, which were initiated in accordance with the nation’s anti-money laundering regulations.

MASAK said it concluded that FTX mishandled user funds, embezzled money from clients through dubious business dealings, and manipulated supply and demand by allowing users to trade listed cryptocurrencies that were not backed by real crypto holdings. In light of these discoveries, MASAK said it confiscated the assets of Bankman-Fried and some of his associates after establishing a reasonable “criminal suspicion” over the aforementioned facts.

FTX’s attorneys recently erklärt how the vast empire built by Sam Bankman-Fried was brought to its knees in a matter of days during a court hearing on Tuesday. They painted a picture of a corporation rife with instability and poor management. James Bromley, an attorney for FTX, said the exchange’s collapse was “one of the most abrupt and difficult collapses in the history of corporate America.”

At its peak, FTX was one of the most well-known crypto exchanges worldwide, and just a few weeks ago, everything seemed fine. But the vast company was reduced to dust in a matter of hours and filed for bankruptcy on November 11. The crypto exchange is currently exploring how to sell off assets, make payments to clients, and satisfy creditors. FTX also ushered in a new team to stabilize the firm, but it appears the damage is beyond repair.

Bromley on Tuesday confirmed the fears of millions of customers, noting that his team discovered that “a substantial amount of assets have either been stolen or are missing.” It appears that users’ funds are currently nowhere to be found.

Viele Kryptobenutzer haben FTX als den größten Verrat der Geschichte bezeichnet. Rechtsexperten behaupten, FTX habe nie Fachleute eingestellt, um seine Finanzunterlagen zu prüfen, was bedeutet, dass die Anleger höchstwahrscheinlich nie genaue Informationen erhalten haben.
