FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried arrested in the Bahamas after U.S. files criminal charges

[Scott]

Bahamian authorities have arrested Sam Bankman-Fried after U.S. law enforcement filed charges against the former crypto billionaire.

Bahamas Attorney General Ryan Pinder said that the United States had filed unspecified criminal charges against Bankman-Fried and was “likely to request his extradition.”

 

In a statement, Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis said “The Bahamas and the United States have a shared interest in holding accountable all individuals associated with FTX who may have betrayed the public trust and broken the law.

with hundred millions $ donated by FTX executives, including Sam, over the last few years to Democrats, I don't think he will face justice in the near future.

He was also supporting Republicans, that including black money.

There is also an ukrainian money laundering trail which this administration doesn't want disclosed, as it's a part of war sponsorship, that one also estimated $60-100 mln.

If faced with serious charges he will talk about all those secret deals in order to whitewash himself

Any idiot who thought this guy was a finance wizard and crypto genius is retarded and deserve to lose their money.  What is his credentials?  Nada.  The jerk didn't have a CFO....utter incompetence! He deserves jail time for malfeasance and defrauding investors.

Sam Bankman-Fried says he donated just as many millions to Republicans as Democrats, but didn’t publicize it because reporters would ‘freak the f–k out’

Another Elon fanboy. The guy who tried to wriggle out of buying Twitter after he made a moronic offer.

Not the point of the person I was replying to or mine.

I read that SBF was on anti-depressants and ADD medication. They can seriously affect one's judgement. In fact, even Tylenol (paracetamol or acetaminophen) can also encourage engaging in risky behavior. I guess there's no legal war of barring such people from being in control of such large amounts of cash.

This doesn't excuse SBF but it might be in part an explanation.

Having the name on a sports arena builds consumer confidence, apparently.

Like crypto dot com

 

It's somewhat amusing these celebs that did endorsements will be taken to task, this might lead to a whole new realm of lawsuits involving celebrity representation.

Some have returned the money. Democrats mainly.
