Since the fall of FTX, its founder Sam Bankman-Fried has been targeted by American justice. And having the right to go out on bail, he may have to wean himself off his addiction to the League of Legends game.
In the cryptocurrency community, the FTX company has crashed as fast as it has risen. A fall that surprised many, as the trading platform seemed ambitious. Obviously in this kind of business, the eyes are on the leaders. This is what led to the fringe founder of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, to be indicted by American justice.
After being accused of money laundering and bank fraud, the former crypto big name is now under attack for corruption. In an indictment shared on March 27, 2023, the United States Department of Justice accuses Bankman-Fried of having ” authorized and directed bribes of at least $40 million to one or more Chinese government officials.”
The purported objective of this maneuver? Getting Chinese officials to unblock some of the accounts associated with FTX’s sister company, Alameda. Despite this new charge, Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyers managed to get him released on bail.
But the conditions are rather specific. The founder of FTX will have to give up the use of a smartphone to use a phone that will not have access to the Internet. He will also no longer have the right to browse freely on his computer, since he will be configured by the courts so that he only has access to a few sites, such as Youtube or Netflix.
