FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is facing potential trouble as evidence against him has come to light in the Federal District Court in Manhattan. The evidence includes tweets, memos, and images of his penthouse, which could be used to convict him. In a recent court trial, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan accepted several documents, including a memo written by Bankman-Fried and audio clips from a meeting of Alameda Research employees. Bankman-Fried’s lawyer objected to the relevance of the memo, but the judge allowed the jury to review the documents. The audio clips revealed that Alameda Research had borrowed customer assets without collateral and implicated Bankman-Fried in misappropriating customer funds. Bankman-Fried’s defense may be further undermined by testimony from his closest friends and associates, who have agreed to testify against him. The trial is ongoing, and if convicted on all charges, Bankman-Fried could face a life imprisonment sentence.
