Sam Bankman-Fried

Si Sam Bankman-Fried, na dating isang pivotal figure sa industriya ng Cryptocurrency , ay nahatulan noong Nobyembre 2023 ng pandaraya at pagsasabwatan para sa pagnanakaw ng bilyun-bilyong dolyar na pera na pagmamay-ari ng mga customer ng kanyang FTX Crypto exchange, na inihatid ang pera sa Alameda Research, ang kanyang hedge fund. Ang FTX ay naging ONE sa pinakamalaking palitan ng Cryptocurrency bago ito mamatay, isang pangunahing manlalaro sa pangangalakal ng mga derivatives kabilang ang mga panghabang-buhay na futures. Ang pag-urong ng kumpanya ay pinasigla ng a CoinDesk scoop noong Nobyembre 2022 na nagpapakita na ang balanse ng Alameda ay misteryosong puno ng FTT token na inisyu ng FTX – na nagtatanong sa katatagan ng pananalapi ng Alameda at FTX. Ang kumpanyang nakabase sa Bahamas nagsampa ng bangkarota siyam na araw pagkatapos ng kwento. Bago siya bumagsak, ang SBF (bilang ang dating bilyonaryo ay karaniwang kilala bilang) ay isang nangungunang figure sa Crypto, na nagtutulak para sa regulasyon ng industriya sa US Siya ay isang pangunahing political donor at ang pampublikong mukha ng epektibong altruismo, isang kilusang nakatuon sa pag-maximize ng dami ng kabutihang nagawa ng pagkakawanggawa. SBF noon arestado noong Disyembre 2022, at ang kanyang binawi ang piyansa dahil sa umano'y pakikialam ng saksi. Ang kanyang pagsubok nagsimula noong Oktubre 2023, at nahatulan siya noong Nob. 2, 2023, isang taon hanggang sa araw pagkatapos ng kuwento ng CoinDesk na naging sanhi ng pagguho ng kanyang Crypto empire.
