U.S. Accuses FTX Founder of Bribing Chinese Officials
U.S. authorities on Tuesday unveiled new charges against the founder of the ill-fated cryptocurrency platform FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, for allegedly paying multimillion-dollar bribes to Chinese officials.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, Bankman-Fried would have transferred at least $40 million to one or more Chinese government officials so that, in exchange, they would unlock accounts of his investment fund, Alameda Research, which held more than $1 billion in cryptocurrencies.
