The latest court documents filed in the FTX bankruptcy case have shed light on the extravagant cash transfers and purchases made by former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and other insiders of the company. The document titled “Statement of Financial Affairs for Non-Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy” reveals that Bankman-Fried received over $1 billion in cash transfers in the year leading up to FTX’s collapse. Some of the notable payments include $68.3 million on August 8, 2022, and $200 million on May 26, 2022. Additionally, the filings suggest that FTX funds were used to buy a multi-million dollar yacht for former Alameda Research co-CEO Samuel Trabucco.
The court filings also disclose other lavish purchases, such as expensive real estate acquired in the names of insiders like former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison. Furthermore, transfers to political groups on behalf of insiders are listed, including a $500,000 donation made by FTX co-founder Nishad Singh to the People for Progressive Governance. Bankman-Fried, who is facing criminal fraud charges related to the alleged misuse of FTX customer deposits, has pleaded not guilty. Meanwhile, former FTX senior members Gary Wang, Ellison, and Singh have reportedly entered into plea deals with U.S. law enforcement. It is worth mentioning that Trabucco’s whereabouts remain unknown since his last known public sightings in 2022.
