The founder of the former multi-billion dollar crypto exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF in the crypto space, is making moves despite being in his parents’ home due to bail conditions. Interestingly, the collapse of FTX has affected many kripto firmaları, medya kuruluşları, devlet kurumları, ve daha fazlası ve alacaklılar, varlıkları tasfiye etmeyi ve ellerinden geleni almayı amaçlayarak birikmeye devam ediyor.
Mahkeme belgeleri 28 Ocak'tan itibaren SBF tarafından tutulan avukat Mark Cohen'in Amerika Birleşik Devletleri Bölge Mahkemesi Yargıcı Lewis Kaplan'a bir mektup yazdığını gösteriyor. Mektupta Bankman-Fried'e borsaya ait fonlara erişim izni verilmesi gerektiğini belirten Cohen, daha önce izinsiz yapılan işlemlerden borsanın eski CEO'sunun sorumlu olmadığını sözlerine ekledi.
Kasım 2022'de FTX ve ABD kolu, Nansen verilerine göre $659 milyondan fazla çıkış gören yetkisiz işlemleri araştırıyordu. O sırada, borsa işlemleri araştırmaya devam ederken, SBF bu işlemlere dahil olduğunu reddetti.
In the letter, Cohen noted that SBF was “prohibited from accessing or transferring any FTX or Alameda assets or cryptocurrency, including assets or cryptocurrency purchased with funds from FTX or Alameda,” as per the request of the US authorities on January 3. The authorities noted at that time that Bankman-Fried couldn’t possibly be behind these transactions, adding that a federal probe was underway.
“Nearly three weeks have passed since the initial pretrial conference, and we assume that the Government’s investigation has confirmed what Mr. Bankman-Fried has said all along; namely, that he did not access and transfer these assets,” said Cohen in the letter to Kaplan, while adding that the defense informed authorities “as soon as we became aware of the transfers to provide notification.”
Finally, the lawyers for SBF noted that since the former FTX executive wasn’t behind these transactions, he should be given access to the funds belonging to the exchange.
“Given that the sole basis advanced for seeking that condition has not been supported, we believe that the bail condition imposed at the conference should be removed,” read the letter.
Bitnation tarafından daha önce bildirildiği üzere, federal savcılar erişimi sınırla that SBF has to people who are former employees of FTX or Alameda Research to prevent possible attempts from Bankman-Fried to influence witnesses in his case. However, the defense added that this is not possible because that would mean that he wouldn’t be able to talk to his therapist, who is a former employee at the exchange.
“According to public sources, FTX and Alameda had approximately 350 employees. Each of these current and former employees could have information crucial to Mr. Bankman-Fried’s defense. Requiring Mr. Bankman-Fried to include counsel in every communication with a former or current FTX employee would place an unnecessary strain on his resources and prejudice his ability to defend this case,” read the letter.
