ABD Savcıları SBF'ye Yönelik Suçlamaların Geçerli Olduğunu İddia Ediyor
- US prosecutors dismissed Bankman-Fried’s claims as meritless.
- Bankman-Fried, suçlamaların düşürülmesi talebinde usul usulsüzlüklerini gösterdi.
- Hukuk uzmanları, Bankman-Fried aleyhindeki suçlamaların düşürülmesinin zor olacağına inanıyor.
Mahkemede talaşlar Pazartesi gününden itibaren ABD savcıları, Sam Bankman-Fried aleyhindeki, ABD'ye iadesi ve kampanya finansmanı suçları hakkındaki sorular da dahil olmak üzere suçlamaların geçerli olduğu iddialarını sürdürdüler. 31 yaşındaki FTX kurucusu ve eski kripto para milyarderi, suçsuz olduğunu iddia etti 13'e kadar komplo, dolandırıcılık, yabancı rüşvet ve kampanya finansman yasalarını ihlal.
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.
Savcılar şunları yazdı:
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, biri eski FTX CEO'sunu, hesapların çözülmesindeki işbirliği karşılığında Çinli yetkililere $40 milyon teklif ederek Yabancı Yolsuzluk Uygulamaları Yasasını (FCPA) ihlal etmekle suçlayan birden fazla suçlamayla karşı karşıya. Bankman-Fried daha önce FTX'in yetersiz risk yönetimi sistemlerine sahip olduğunu kabul etmişti ancak iddia edildiği gibi fon çaldığını reddetmişti.
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.
