Reply to comment by manfromfuture in Judge kept cooperation of Alameda CEO, FTX co-founder a secret so Sam Bankman-Fried wouldn’t get spooked and fight extradition by ihavestrings
Er. It’s not hazy at all.
It’s clear.
He violated his own terms of agreement and stole money from his clients to bankroll his other company - and himself.
Dude is going to jail. He’s up on 6 life counts. Sure, he wont get the most harsh sentence.
But he isn’t walking from this.

His parents appear relatively relaxed and blasé. Suspect they can pull of deals and by 35, all will be forgotten.

Again my question is about what kind of company FTX was and did they have the same fiduciary responsibility as a bank or brokerage. They were incorporated in the Bahamas and not federally insured as they claimed.

Not relevant. They had the duty to follow through on contractual agreements with users, but they never had any intention of holding up their end of the agreement. Any profit based on lies is criminal fraud.
