FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and ALAMEDA Have Been Charged With FRAUD

The lawsuit accuses all three defendants of fraud and significant misrepresentation in connection with the interstate selling of digital commodities. The lawsuit further claims that the defendant's activities resulted in the loss of more than $8 billion in FTX client deposits.

The CFTC lawsuit was submitted roughly a month after FTX declared bankruptcy in Delaware under Chapter 11. On December 12, 2022, Samuel Bankman-Fried (also known as “SBF”) was arrested.

According to the CFTC complaint, Bankman-Fried owned both FTX.com, a centralized digital asset derivative platform, and Alameda, a digital asset trading business that functioned as the main market maker on FTX, from at least May 2019 until November 11, 2022.

According to the allegations, FTX marketed itself as “the safest and simplest method to purchase and sell crypto,” and claimed that clients' assets, including both fiat and digital assets such as bitcoin and ether, were held in “custody” by FTX and kept separate from FTX's own holdings.

On the contrary, Alameda habitually received and retained FTX client assets, which were commingled with Alameda's money. Alameda, Bankman-Fried, and others used consumer cash for their own operations and activities, such as purchasing luxury real estate, making political donations, and investing in the high-risk, illiquid digital asset market.

According to the complaint, FTX employees created features in the FTX code that favored Alameda and allowed it to execute transactions even when it did not have sufficient funds available, such as a “allow negative flag” and effectively limitless line of credit that allowed Alameda to withdraw billions of dollars in customer assets from FTX at Bankman-direction. Fried's These characteristics were not made public.

The CFTC seeks restitution, disgorgement, civil monetary penalties, permanent trading and registration bans, and a permanent injunction against future breaches of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC rules in its ongoing case against the Defendants.
