US Government Seizes Millions in Cash and Robinhood Shares From FTX Co-Founder; SBF Denies Misappropriation of Customer Assets

アメリカ. government has seized nearly $700 100万 from the former FTX CEO and co-founder, サム・バンクマン＝フライド (SBF), according to court documents reviewed by CNBC. Most of the funds came from the 56,273,269 shares of Robinhood Markets Inc. (ナスダック: HOOD) owned by Bankman-Fried. Using exchange rates from Jan. 20, 2023, the Hood shares are worth more than $526 100万.

さらに, CNBC reporters Rohan Goswami and MacKenzie Sigalos detail that nearly $56 million held in four bank accounts was seized as well. Three accounts holding $6 million were allegedly held at Silvergate Bank and one account reportedly held at Moonstone Bank held $50 100万. In total, $171 million in cash was taken by the federal government from Bankman-Fried. Moonstone Bank 説明した on Jan. 19, 2023, that the financial institution will officially be exiting the crypto space.

アラメダリサーチ invested $11.5 100万 into Moonstone Bank, also known as Farmington State Bank, through FBH, Moonstone’s holding company. Federal prosecutors believe the $697 million in assets, mostly made up of Robinhood shares, were acquired using funds stolen from FTX customers. Bankman-Fried maintains his innocence and has “denied misappropriating customer assets,” Sigalos explained on Friday.

さらに, federal agents also seized funds that belonged to SBF that were held on the crypto exchanges バイナンス and Binance US. アメリカ. 政府 revealed intentions to seize the Robinhood shares during the first week of January 2023, and the U.S. 司法省 (DOJ) initiated the process.

Bankman-Fried attempted to regain access to the shares, noting that he needed the money to pay for legal expenses. アメリカ. government can seize funds from citizens suspected of wrongdoing without necessarily charging them with a crime and from charged suspects awaiting trial. Federal prosecutors do not believe the assets seized are the property in the bankruptcy estate.
