- O ex-CEO da FTX afirma que não fez uso indevido dos fundos dos clientes da FTX.
- Bankman-Fried está atualmente preso antes de seu julgamento em outubro.
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 compartilhado eles com o New York Times. Os escritos supostamente faziam parte de um rascunho que o ex-bilionário planejava postar no X (antigo 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 escreveu em seu rascunho:
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 foi acusado de vários crimes, incluindo fraude eletrônica, lavagem de dinheiro, uso de dinheiro de clientes sem autorização e violação de leis de financiamento de campanha. O ex-cripto bilionário está atualmente na prisão antes de seu julgamento no próximo mês.
A federal judge recently revoked Bankman-Fried’s bail for adulteração de testemunha. O ex-CEO da FTX teria vazado documentos relacionados a Ellison, que deverá testemunhar contra Bankman-Fried.
Cobri algumas histórias interessantes em minha carreira como jornalista e acho as histórias relacionadas ao blockchain muito intrigantes. Acredito que a Web3 vai mudar o mundo e quero que todos façam parte dele.
