Sam Bankman-Fried – The Unprecedented Situation
The new FTX CEO said the situation is unprecedented with what transpired around the crypto exchange’s failure. Ray made the statements in his declaration in the role of CEO for chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions. The declaration also mentioned that authorizing the chapter 11 bankruptcy filings was his first official act as FTX chief executive officer. He mentioned in the latest court filing,
“Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information.”
Ray also clarified that Sam Bankman-Fried does not have any role in the FTX exchange currently. He also stated that the views of SBF if any do not relate to those of FTX US or Alameda Research. As part of the bankruptcy proceedings decision, the company also announced the stepping down of SBF from the role of CEO. The announcement marked the appointment of John Ray as the new FTX CEO. However, it was stated that SBF would help the new CEO and the team for a smooth transition.
SBF Borrowed Money From FTX
The filing also revealed Sam Bankman-Fried took a $1 billion personal loan from Alameda Research. Also, another top FTX executive Nishad Singh received a $543 million loan from Alameda.
Meanwhile, the FTX Token (FTT) continues to lose heavily in terms of market value. As of writing, the token price stands at $1.59, up 2.06% in the last 24 hours, according to price tracking platform CoinMarketCap. FTT is currently ranked 209 based on market cap, down from the top 60 rank it maintained until recently.
