The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced<\/a> Thursday that it had filed a complaint against FTX\u2019s former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried \u2018SBF\u2019 for defrauding equity investors of up to $1.8 billion, and estimated $1.1 billion from about 90 US-based investors, all raised in the period before May 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, according to the regulator, SBF acted contrary to Section 17 of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10 (b) of the Securities Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. According to the report, SBF concealed the whereabouts of investors\u2019 funds, and the funds were put in risky assets without their consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018\u2018In his representations to investors, (SBF) promoted FTX as a safe, responsible crypto asset trading platform, specifically marketing it\u2019s sophisticated, automated risk measures to protect customer assets. In reality, (he) concealed the undisclosed diversion of FTX customers\u2019 funds to Alameda Research LLC, the undisclosed special treatment afforded to Alameda on the FTX platform, including providing Alameda with a virtually unlimited line of credit, and the undisclosed risks from holding overvalued, illiquid assets (FTT).<\/em>\u2019\u2019 The statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, the agency demands that SBF be barred from issuing, purchasing, or offering any security besides his account for sale. Further SEC wants all the ill-gotten profits to be reclaimed from the disgraced executive, including a civil penalty prohibiting him from occupying any office in the capacity of a director.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced<\/a> Thursday that it had filed a complaint against FTX\u2019s former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried \u2018SBF\u2019 for defrauding equity investors of up to $1.8 billion, and estimated $1.1 billion from about 90 US-based investors, all raised in the period before May 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, according to the regulator, SBF acted contrary to Section 17 of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10 (b) of the Securities Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.

\u2018\u2018In his representations to investors, (SBF) promoted FTX as a safe, responsible crypto asset trading platform, specifically marketing it\u2019s sophisticated, automated risk measures to protect customer assets.

FTX investors got a ray of hope after the new CEO John Ray said there was a possibility of reviving the collapsed exchange. His statement was quickly criticized by SBF, who is currently out on a $250 million recognizance bond secured by his parent's property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SBF And His Former Executives To Submit Relevant Documents Before February 20th<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Besides, the summons,\u00a0filed<\/a>\u00a0before the US Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York, have compelled the executives to produce documents and all the relevant information about the loan agreements between Alameda Ventures and Voyager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced<\/a> Thursday that it had filed a complaint against FTX\u2019s former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried \u2018SBF\u2019 for defrauding equity investors of up to $1.8 billion, and estimated $1.1 billion from about 90 US-based investors, all raised in the period before May 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Before the collapse of FTX, the crypto exchange had proposed to acquire the assets of Voyager Digital.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The proposal failed, and Binance later got the approval to acquire the crypto lender.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    A team representing the unsecured creditors of Voyager Digital, the bankrupt crypto lender, have asked the former FTX executives \u2013 Sam Bankman-Fried, Samuel Tarbucco, Nishad Singh, Gary Wang, and Caroline Ellison \u2013 to appear before a bankruptcy court this week on questions around the attempted acquisition of the failed crypto lender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In July last year, FTX\u00a0offered<\/a>\u00a0\u2018\u2018an early liquidity\u2019\u2019 <\/em>to the customers of Voyager Digital. The plan was declined by the firm, terming it as a \u2018\u2018low-ball bid dressed up as a white knight rescue.\u2019\u2019<\/em> Binance later acquired the now-bankrupt firm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In light of the same, the individuals mentioned above must appear for a remote disposition on February 23, according to a court filing. The same creditors reportedly served similar summons to Bankman-Fried, Ellison, Wang, and FTX\u2019s head of product Ramnic Arora on February 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Besides, the summons,\u00a0filed<\/a>\u00a0before the US Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York, have compelled the executives to produce documents and all the relevant information about the loan agreements between Alameda Ventures and Voyager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Noteworthy, Alameda Research, FTX\u2019s sister company, sued Voyager Digital last month, seeking to recover more than $400 million in payments made to the lender. FTX paid $442.7 million to Voyager \u2013 the amount it seeks to recover \u2013 on grounds that the payment was close to FTX\u2019s bankruptcy filing. The multiple investigations come amid a warning by bankruptcy Judge Lewis Kaplan that Bankman-Fried\u2019s bail could be revoked for witness tampering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
