Damian Williams called on individuals who may have been involved in alleged illegal actions at FTX and Alameda to “come see us before we come see you,” hinting at future…
The move comes just one day after the crypto executive's arrest on Dec. 12.
The indictment from the Southern District of New York names only Sam Bankman-Fried, but contains allegations of illegal activities by “individuals known and unknown” as well.
Some members of the U.S. House of Representatives questioned whether Sam Bankman-Fried’s actions at FTX and Alameda may have been willful or due to gross incompetence.
According to the federal regulator, SBF and FTX companies "used FTX customer funds for a variety of personal expenditures" including real estate and private jets.
The FTX collapse has reportedly fueled a major international legal dispute between the United States and the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.
SBF blamed the current CEO, his legal counsel, the law firm he appointed for bankruptcy, and Binance CEO CZ, without admitting any wrong on his part.
SEC has filed charges against the former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, accusing him of defrauding U.S. customers and concealing the diversion of customers' funds.
SBF’s last tweet before his arrest for reportedly committing wire fraud was dispelling his involvement in a group chat purportedly called “Wirefraud.”
SBF has finally been slapped with criminal charges and will be extradited to the U.S., once there, he will have to face separate charges from the SEC.
