A jury has found Sam Bankman-Fried guilty Thursday on all counts in the fraud trial against the former crypto billionaire.
reported at around 4:55 p.m. Pacific time that the jury found Bankman-Fried guilty. The verdict was reached around four hours after the jury began deliberations. The co-founder of the digital currency exchange FTX was charged with seven counts of wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering that defrauded customers of his digital currency exchange, FTX, and lenders to its affiliated hedge fund, Alameda Research.
. FTX and Alameda quickly collapsed in November 2022 after some of their financial liabilities were exposed. The fact that Alameda had taken billions of dollars from FTX's customers, and that much of Alameda's balance sheet was comprised of digital currency assets it had created, was central to the case against Bankman-Fried. Unnerved by disclosures about the firm's financial position, many of FTX’s customers tried to get their money back. That set off the equivalent of a bank run.
