FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was found guilty Thursday of orchestrating one of the biggest frauds in U.S. history and could be sentenced to more than 100 years behind bars.
The government's case against him was much stronger than anticipated and included a parade of his closest confidants who testified that he called the shots and demanded they break the rules too if they wanted to keep getting paid. Wang, Singh, and Ellison, who used to be Bankman-Fried's girlfriend, all pleaded guilty to similar charges and worked with prosecutors in their case against Bankman-Fried.
Ellison, the government's star witness and considered to be Bankman-Fried's closest cohort, testified she had personally shown him several spreadsheets over the course of a year that predicted a crypto crash could wipe out Alameda, which, at the time, was"borrowing" billions of dollars from FTX customers.
