Sam Bankman-Fried deleted a Slack message and tweets after FTX's top lawyer told the company to preserve records for regulators, prosecutors say
Sam Bankman-Fried deleted a number of messages — including a Slack message from FTX's own general counsel that warned the crypto exchange needed to shut down — prosecutors said., prosecutors said that Bankman-Fried had deleted the post by the general counsel of FTX US, who had instructed employees to keep records to assist any investigations. The episode took place in November, according to prosecutors, who didn't specify a date. FTX filed for bankruptcy protection that month.
Bankman-Fried disregarded the general counsel's directive at the time, prosecutors alleged, saying he also deleted some of his tweets in November. Additionally, they said he continued to use the encrypted messaging app Signal, on which users can auto-delete messages. "In November 2022, the general counsel of FTX.US warned employees that they should preserve documents because of the involvement of regulators, and then posted in a company Slack channel that FTX would need to be shut down," prosecutors wrote in Thursday's superseding indictment.
Prosecutors alleged that Bankman-Fried had a practice of talking to employees on Signal using auto-deleting messages,"in part to prevent the preservation of evidence that could be used against him," according to the indictment. The latest allegations about auto-deleting messages show prosecutors continuing to target what they argue is a pattern of Bankman-Fried trying to evade scrutiny of his communications.
Bankman-Fried's use of messaging apps while he's currently out on bail and on home detention has also been the subject of dispute between his lawyers and government prosecutors in recent weeks.
