Sam Bankman-Fried’s time under house arrest appears to have been spent reflecting on the events of the past few months. The former FTX CEO bared his emotions in a 250-page document he wrote while in his parents’ California home. The 31-year-old disgraced investor noted that he felt “broke” and “hated” and believes there is nothing he could do to improve the public’s unfavorable opinion of him.

Bankman-Fried’s personal writings were leaked by Tiffany Fong, who later partagé avec le New York Times. Les écrits feraient partie d'un brouillon que l'ancien milliardaire prévoyait de publier sur X (anciennement Twitter).

Bankman-Fried’s draft covered different topics, including the legal team handling FTX’s bankruptcy case. In one of the drafts, Bankman-Fried reflected on his time at the failed exchange, claiming he “did what I thought was right.”

According to reports, the posts included private information regarding Bankman-Fried’s relationship with Caroline Ellison, who served as the CEO of Alameda Research, Bankman-Fried’s trading firm. The drafts claimed that Ellison rejected Bankman-Fried’s requests to cancel Alameda’s trading hedges, which led the FTX founder to respond with “the meanest thing I’ve ever said to her.”

Furthermore, Sam Bankman-Fried appeared to have pushed the blame for FTX’s collapse on some of his colleagues, especially Ellison. Authorities claim Bankman-Fried moved the exchange’s customer funds to Alameda Research to bolster its balance sheet after suffering significant losses from numerous unsuccessful trades.

Bankman-Fried a écrit dans son brouillon :

She continually avoided talking about risk management, dodging my suggestions until it was too late. […] Every time that I reached out with suggestions, it just made her feel worse. I’m sure that being exes didn’t help.

In another part of the leaked documents, Bankman-Fried claims he was unaware that Alameda was taking money from customers into an account dubbed “fiat@” until he overheard several of his staff members and Ellison discussing it months before FTX collapsed.

Sam Bankman-Fried a été accusé de plusieurs infractions pénales, notamment de fraude électronique, de blanchiment d'argent, d'utilisation d'argent liquide de clients sans autorisation et de violation des lois sur le financement des campagnes électorales. L’ancien crypto-milliardaire est actuellement en prison avant son procès le mois prochain.

A federal judge recently revoked Bankman-Fried’s bail for Manipulation de témoins. L'ancien PDG de FTX aurait divulgué des documents relatifs à Ellison, qui devrait témoigner contre Bankman-Fried.
