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 condivisa loro con il New York Times. Gli scritti facevano presumibilmente parte di una bozza che l'ex miliardario intendeva pubblicare su X (ex 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 ha scritto nella sua bozza:

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 è stato accusato di molteplici reati, tra cui frode telematica, riciclaggio di denaro, utilizzo di contanti dei clienti senza autorizzazione e violazione delle leggi sul finanziamento delle campagne elettorali. L'ex miliardario delle criptovalute è attualmente in prigione in vista del processo il mese prossimo.

A federal judge recently revoked Bankman-Fried’s bail for testimone di manomissione. Si dice che l'ex CEO di FTX abbia fatto trapelare documenti relativi a Ellison, che dovrebbe testimoniare contro Bankman-Fried.
