SBF Fraud Probe To Lead To Jail Term?
The department’s calls come amid widespread demands for jailing the FTX founder as the crypto exchange goes through a liquidity crisis. Recently, crypto industry experts like the XRP lawyer predicted that SBF would likely go to jail. He said it was only a matter of time before SBF gets arrested. John Deaton said that the offence committed by FTX counts as theft. Stating that more specific evidence was needed, he said there is a lot of evidence already to jail SBF.
The justice department’s motion suggested that an internal probe may be ordered to look into allegations of fraud. There is substantial basis to believe that Sam Bankman-Fried and other managers mismanaged the debtors or
engaged in fraudulent conduct, it said. The department sought for authorizing an examiner to investigate such
allegations. The motion further said,
“An examination is preferable to an internal investigation under the facts of these cases because the findings and conclusions of the examination will be public and transparent, which is especially important because of the wider implications that FTX’s collapse may have for the crypto industry.”
