Executive summary: Sam Bankman-Fried and his associates at FTX and Alameda committed multiple crimes, including misappropriating customer funds, lying to lenders and investors, and bribing a Chinese official.
Key points:
Alameda was allowed to borrow FTX customer funds without sufficient collateral, creating a multi-billion dollar hole.
Alameda falsified balance sheets provided to lenders to conceal the extent of their liabilities and loans from FTX.
FTX lied to investors about Alameda receiving special treatment and privileges on the exchange.
Alameda lied to banks about the purpose of accounts used to process FTX customer deposits and withdrawals.
SBF directed a $140 million bribe to unfreeze Alameda trading accounts in China, violating anti-bribery laws.
Evidence suggests SBF was aware of the misuse of customer funds long before June 2022, contrary to some claims.
