Federal prosecutors charged Sam Bankman-Fried with several additional financial crimes and offered expansive new details about the FTX founder's alleged conduct before the collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange.
A new indictment unsealed on 23 February charges the 30-year-old Bankman-Fried with four more criminal counts, on top of the eight prosecutors brought in an indictment they filed in December, weeks after FTX's implosion. Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty to the prior charges, which alleged he stole billions of dollars of FTX customer funds, in addition to misleading investors and lenders. A spokesperson for Bankman-Fried didn't respond to a request for comment.
