Bankman-Fried ha ricevuto oltre $2B da Alameda Research
- Bankman-Fried si è dichiarato non colpevole di 12 accuse penali.
- I $3,2 miliardi prestati ai dirigenti non comprendono i $240 milioni spesi per sontuose acquisizioni e donazioni.
Una dichiarazione rilasciato on Wednesday by the new management of FTX claims that the company’s former CEO and founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, received payments and loans totaling $2.2 billion, primarily from Alameda Research, the hedge fund he headed that suffered significant losses on poor investments before misusing client deposits from FTX accounts to try to pay those losses.
Oltre a Bankman-Fried, altri dirigenti di FTX hanno ricevuto pagamenti tramite Alameda, incluso l'ex direttore dell'ingegneria, Nishad Singh, che ha ricevuto $587 milioni. I registri mostrano che il co-fondatore Gary Wang ha ricevuto $246 milioni, mentre l'ex co-CEO Ryan Salame ha ricevuto $87 milioni.
As per the records, former Alameda co-CEO John Samuel Trabucco received $25 million. Bankman-Fried’s ex-girlfriend and former CEO of Alameda, Caroline Ellison, seemed more cautious, taking only $6 million in loans and payments.
The news would come as a heavy blow to Bankan-Fried’s legal team, which has so far stood firm on the 30-year-old’s stance of innocence. The new findings also support earlier statements made by Caroline Ellison. The former Alameda executive told a judge that Alameda secretly loaned corporate executives billions of dollars. The documents, no doubt, give prosecutors a strong case against Bankman-Fried. So far, Bankman-Fried has been charged with financial crimes such as money laundering and frode bancaria.
