Sam Bankman-Fried
Sam Bankman-Fried, einst eine zentrale Persönlichkeit in der Kryptowährungsbranche, wurde im November 2023 wegen Betrugs und Verschwörung verurteilt, nachdem er Milliarden von Dollar Kundengeldern seiner Krypto-Börse FTX gestohlen und an Alameda Research, seinen Hedgefonds, weitergeleitet hatte. FTX war vor seinem Untergang eine der größten Kryptowährungsbörsen und ein bedeutender Akteur im Derivatehandel, einschließlich unbefristeter Futures. Der Untergang des Unternehmens wurde durch einen CoinDesk Exklusivmeldung im November 2022, das zeigt, dass die Bilanz von Alameda auf mysteriöse Weise voll mit dem von FTX ausgegebenen FTT-Token war – was sowohl die finanzielle Stabilität von Alameda als auch von FTX in Frage stellt. Das auf den Bahamas ansässige Unternehmen hat Insolvenz angemeldet neun Tage nach der Geschichte. Vor seinem Sturz war SBF (wie der ehemalige Milliardär allgemein bekannt ist) eine führende Persönlichkeit im Kryptobereich und setzte sich in den USA für die Regulierung der Branche ein. Er war ein bedeutender politischer Großspender und das öffentliche Gesicht des effektiven Altruismus, einer Bewegung, die darauf abzielt, die Wirksamkeit philanthropischer Aktivitäten zu maximieren. SBF war verhaftet im Dezember 2022, und sein Kaution wurde aufgrund mutmaßlicher Zeugenbeeinflussung widerrufen. Sein Test begann im Oktober 2023, und er wurde am 2. November 2023 verurteilt, genau ein Jahr nach der CoinDesk-Geschichte, die sein Krypto-Imperium zum Einsturz brachte.
