The Trial of Sam Bankman-Fried

The Trial of Sam Bankman-Fried

Every Monday and Wednesday host Kelly O’Grady speaks with plugged in experts to discuss the latest twists and turns in the case against the FTX CEO. Sam Bankman-Fried, FTX founder, was arrested in the Bahamas a day before he was to testify before the House Financial Services Committee. Bankman-Fried is accused of defrauding customers and investors to fund a lavish lifestyle, officials said. Federal prosecutors said beginning in 2019, he diverted their money to cover expenses, debts and risky trades at his crypto hedge fund, Alameda Research, in addition to making lavish purchases and illegal campaign contributions without telling his customers, according to a 13-page indictment.
