Bankman-Fried ontving meer dan $2B van Alameda Research

• Bankman-Fried pleitte niet schuldig aan 12 strafrechtelijke aanklachten.

• De $ 3,2 miljard die aan leidinggevenden is uitgeleend, is exclusief de $ 240 miljoen die is uitgegeven aan overdadige acquisities en donaties.

Een verklaring uitgegeven 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.

Naast Bankman-Fried ontvingen andere FTX-managers betalingen via Alameda, waaronder de voormalige directeur engineering, Nishad Singh, die $587 miljoen ontving. Uit gegevens blijkt dat mede-oprichter Gary Wang $246 miljoen ontving, terwijl voormalig co-CEO Ryan Salame $87 miljoen ontving.

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 bankfraude.
