BREAKING: The Senate Banking Committee ordered Sam Bankman-Fried to testify in-person on Dec. 14, threatening a subpoena if he fails to comply. nikhileshde reports
The Senate Banking Committee wants Sam Bankman-Fried to appear before it next week to discuss the collapse of FTX, and will subpoena him if he does not appear voluntarily, a letter from its leaders said Wednesday.
Senators Sherrod Brown and Pat Toomey , respectively the chair and ranking member of the committee, wrote a public letter to Bankman-Fried, who resigned from the exchange the same day it filed for bankruptcy last month. “FTX’s collapse has caused real financial harm to consumers, and effects have spilled over into other parts of the crypto industry. The American people need answers about Sam Bankman-Fried’s misconduct at FTX," the lawmakers said in a prepared statement."The Committee has requested that he testify at our upcoming hearing on FTX’s collapse, and will consider further action if he does not comply.
Normally witnesses appear voluntarily, the lawmakers said in the letter. If Bankman-Fried does not confirm his participation by Thursday,"I am prepared, along with Ranking Member Pat Toomey, to issue a subpoena to compel your testimony," the letter signed by Brown said.
