Officials arrested crypto exchange founder Sam Bankman-Fried in the Bahamas after the United States filed criminal charges against him and requested extradition.
Bankman-Fried's arrest was confirmed by the attorney general of the Bahamas. The crypto mogul and former billionaire has been the focus of recent regulatory attention in the crypto sphere after his exchange, FTX, collapsed and went bankrupt due to his poor handling of investors' funds.
"The Bahamas and the United States have a shared interest in holding accountable all individuals associated with FTX who may have betrayed the public trust and broken the law," Bahamas Prime Minister Philip Davis said in a press statement.
— Latrae L. Rahming 🇧🇸 December 12, 2022 Bankman-Fried's arrest was confirmed by the U.S. attorney from the southern district of New York based on a sealed indictment. The indictment is expected to be unsealed Tuesday morning. The crypto mogul is expected to be charged with “wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, securities fraud, securities fraud conspiracy and money laundering,” according to the New York Times.
While the FTX founder has made multiple appearances in the media to discuss the business's collapse, he has evaded questioning on whether he is liable for the company's failure and the loss of billions. He also agreed on Friday to testify before Congress and was scheduled to appear before the House Financial Services Committee Tuesday morning by video.
