El criptointercambio en bancarrota FTX ha demandado a su fundador y ex director ejecutivo, Sam Bankman-Fried, también conocido como SBF en el espacio criptográfico, junto con otros ejecutivos. Además, ex ejecutivos de una empresa comercial también fundada por SBF, Alameda Research, incluida Caroline Ellison, han sido demandados. Mientras tanto, los antiguos criptomil millones enfrentan múltiples cargos en los Estados Unidos, que van desde cometer fraude hasta engañar a los inversores.
según un queja filed on July 20 in a United States Bankruptcy Court, former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison, FTX co-founder Zixiao “Gary” Wang, former engineering director at the exchange Nishad Singh, and Bankman-Fried have been named as defendants. This adds to the numerous cases that the executives have been facing.
According to the complaint, the FTX and Alameda executives breached their fiduciary duties by allegedly mismanaging the funds that their users entrusted to them on a “continuous basis to finance luxury condominiums, political and ‘charitable’ contributions, speculative investments, and other pet projects.”
The legal brief also adds that the prominent personalities in the crypto space used their control over FTX and Alameda to commit “one of the largest financial frauds in history.” The complaint adds that a few employees at the bankrupt firms had access to limitless power, which allowed them to oversee transactions involving digital assets and fiat currencies.
Moreover, these powerful employees also had the power to hire and fire employees with “no effective oversight” on how they exercised their powers. Interestingly, FTX also noted in the complaint that SBF and others issued more than $725 million worth of equity to themselves, “without [debtors] receiving any value in exchange.”
FTX claims that on Jan. 24, 2022, SBF transferred close to $10 million to his father’s account on FTX US in the form of a “gift.” Moreover, his father also made six transfers totaling $6.75 million to his personal accounts at Morgan Stanley and TD Ameritrade, the lawsuit claims.
“In or around July 2019, Bankman-Fried directed one or more of his co-conspirators or individuals working at their behest to modify the software to permit Alameda to maintain a negative balance in its account on the exchange.”
Como informó anteriormente Bitnation, el criptointercambio en bancarrota también presentó otra demanda contra los ejecutivos en mayo de este año, con el objetivo de recuperar $220 millones que gastaron para adquirir la plataforma de comercio de acciones Insertar. La demanda afirma que los exejecutivos no llevaron a cabo ninguna diligencia debida antes de comprar la plataforma de software con errores, en gran medida ineficaz.
