Sam Bankman-Fried

Sam Bankman-Fried, que já foi uma figura central na indústria de Criptomoeda , foi condenado em novembro de 2023 por cometer fraude e conspiração por roubar bilhões de dólares em dinheiro pertencentes a clientes de sua bolsa de Cripto FTX, canalizando o dinheiro para a Alameda Research, seu fundo de hedge. A FTX foi uma das maiores bolsas de Criptomoeda antes de seu fim, um grande player na negociação de derivativos, incluindo futuros perpétuos. A ruína da empresa foi estimulada por uma Furo do CoinDesk em novembro de 2022, mostrando que o balanço da Alameda estava misteriosamente cheio do token FTT emitido pela FTX – colocando em questão a estabilidade financeira da Alameda e da FTX. A empresa sediada nas Bahamas entrou com pedido de falência nove dias após a história. Antes de sua queda, SBF (como o ex-bilionário é comumente conhecido) tinha sido uma figura de liderança em Cripto, pressionando pela regulamentação da indústria nos EUA. Ele era um grande doador políticoe a face pública do altruísmo eficaz, um movimento voltado para maximizar a quantidade de bem feito pela filantropia. A SBF foipresoem dezembro de 2022, e seufiança foi revogada devido a suposta manipulação de testemunhas. Dele julgamento começou em outubro de 2023, e ele foi condenado em 2 de novembro de 2023, exatamente um ano após a história da CoinDesk que fez seu império de Cripto ruir.
