From $32 billion to criminal investigations: Here's how Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto empire vanished overnight. KenzieSigalos reports.
Amid the wave of bankruptcies, some of Alameda's lenders asked for their money back. But Alameda didn't have it, because it was no longer liquid. Bankman-Fried's trading firm had parked the borrowed money in venture investments, a decision that was "probably not really worth it," he told the Times in an interview Sunday.
"It was substantially larger than I had thought it was," Bankman-Fried told the Times. "And in fact the downside risk was very significant."and the Journal both reported that the lifeline was around $10 billion, and Reuters reports that $1 billion to $2 billion of that emergency financing is now missing. Tapping customer funds without permission was a violation of FTX's own terms and conditions. On Wall Street, it would be a clear violation of U.S. securities laws.
"FTX and Alameda had an extremely problematic relationship," Castle Island Venture's Nic Carter told CNBC. "Bankman-Fried operated both an exchange and a prop shop, which is super unorthodox and just not really allowed in actually regulated capital markets."
