Promotores dos EUA afirmam que as acusações contra o SBF são válidas
- US prosecutors dismissed Bankman-Fried’s claims as meritless.
- Bankman-Fried citou irregularidades processuais em seu pedido de arquivamento das acusações.
- Especialistas jurídicos acreditam que será difícil que as acusações contra Bankman-Fried sejam retiradas.
Em corte arquivamentos a partir de segunda-feira, os promotores dos EUA mantiveram suas alegações de que as acusações criminais contra Sam Bankman-Fried, incluindo perguntas sobre sua extradição de volta aos Estados Unidos e crimes de financiamento de campanha, são válidas. O fundador da FTX de 31 anos e ex-bilionário da criptomoeda se declarou inocente a 13 acusações de conspiração, fraude, suborno estrangeiro e violação das leis de financiamento de campanha.
Earlier this month, Bankman-Fried’s defense asked U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan to dismiss most of the counts, claiming that prosecutors charged him in a “rush to judgment” after a series of disasters in the crypto market that saw the collapse of several top crypto companies, including his own companies FTX and Alameda Research.
Bankman-Fried’s lawyers demanded the dismissal of the charges against him, citing procedural irregularities, and the scope of U.S. laws since FTX operates outside of the US. Bankman-Fried’s lawyers further claimed the charges filed by US prosecutors had gone beyond the limits of the extradition agreement.
Prosecutors labeled Bankman-Fried’s claims “meritless.” Responding to Bankman-Fried’s argument that the Bahamas must approve any charges prior to extradition, US prosecutors argued that the extradition agreement with the Bahamas allows post-extradition charges with the permission of the extraditing country.
Os promotores escreveram,
The indictment sufficiently alleges that the defendant and his co-conspirators made false and misleading representations to lenders relating to Alameda’s financial condition. No more specificity is required.
Bankman-Fried enfrenta várias acusações, uma das quais acusa o ex-CEO da FTX de violar a Lei de Práticas de Corrupção no Exterior (FCPA) ao oferecer $40 milhões a autoridades chinesas em troca de sua cooperação no descongelamento de contas. Bankman-Fried admitiu anteriormente que a FTX tinha sistemas de gerenciamento de risco inadequados, mas negou o roubo de fundos conforme alegado.
Legal professionals believe that Bankman-Fried has little chance of having the charges dropped because the prosecution can show that his clients actually lost money. Prior to FTX’s collapse, Bankman-Fried had a solid reputation as one of the crypto billionaires and philanthropic donors.
However, his fortune and reputation crashed last November after FTX filed for bankruptcy protection and news emerged of the poor management structures at the exchange. He was later extradited to the US from the Bahamas and has remained under house arrest at his parents’ Palo Alto, California, home under a $250 million bond.
