New FTX CEO John Ray says his predecessor, Sam Bankman-Fried, is 'living a life of delusion' by claiming the bankruptcy of his cryptocurrency exchange was not necessary.
FTX co-founder and former chief executive Sam Bankman-Fried is not living in reality with his claims that the bankruptcy of his cryptocurrency exchange was not necessary and that he did not steal from customers, new CEO John Ray said Wednesday. "Mr. Bankman-Fried continues to live a life of delusion," Ray wrote in a Manhattan federal court filing ahead of the former billionaire's sentencing set for next week.
Bankman-Fried was found guilty in November on two counts of wire fraud and five conspiracy counts. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 110 years behind bars, and his sentencing is scheduled for Thursday.
