Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) Bail One Of The Largest

In the context of FTX falling down from a valuation of $32 billion to $1 billion, the SBF bail is being touted as one of the largest in the history of white collar crimes. This comes after SBF recently revealing that he holds no more than in $100,o00 in cash. He made the comments following the FTX bankruptcy announcement. While announcing the FTX bankruptcy, the company also announced SBF’s resignation as the company CEO. Following this, John J. Ray III took charge as the new FTX CEO to see the company through the bankruptcy process.

“Funny how SBF is able to post the $250M bail not long after saying he only had $100k. So he probably is using stolen customer deposits to stay out of jail.”
