United States prosecutor Damian Williams described the crimes committed by SBF as a “multi-billion-dollar plan designed to become king of the crypto world<\/strong><\/em>,” labeling it one of the biggest financial scams in American history.<\/p>\n

In the criminal case in New York, the jury deliberated for about four hours and found Former FTX CEO SBF guilty of all seven charges.<\/p>\n

Bankman-Fried was found guilty of seven charges, including two wire fraud, two wire fraud conspiracies, one security offense, one commodity fraud conspiracy, and one money laundering conspiracy.<\/p>\n

The court will reassemble on March 28, 2024, for Judge Lewis Kaplan of the New York District to determine Bankman-Fried’s sentence. Government prosecutors will propose a sentence, but Judge Kaplan will make the final decision.<\/p>\n

Court Decision and Details of the Charges<\/h1>\n

Each of Bankman-Fried’s crimes,wire\u00a0fraud<\/strong>, wire<\/strong>\u00a0fraud conspiracy<\/strong> and money laundering conspiracy<\/strong> require maximum 20 years of imprisonment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At a press conference outside the courthouse, Damian Williams, United States Prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, described Bankman-Fried\u2019s crimes as a “multi-billion dollar plan designed to become king of the crypto world<\/strong><\/em>,” and considered it one of the greatest financial scams in American history.<\/p>\n

Bankman-Fried’s lawyer Mark Cohen said that they respect the jury’s decision, but they feel very disappointed with the outcome. Mr. Bankman-Fried maintains his innocence and will continue to fight these charges vigorously.<\/p>\n

Other key FTX executives, including former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison<\/strong>, FTX founder Gary Wang<\/strong> and former FTX engineering president Nishad Singh<\/strong> have accepted various charges and cooperated with the government to testify against Bankman-Fried during the five-week trial.<\/p>\n

Bankman-Fried had denied all charges and during his trial, he testified as a witness to defend his innocence and described FTX’s November 2022 crash as a series of major mistakes.<\/p>\n

He claimed that he had committed no wrongdoing in the relationship between Alameda and FTX and stated that he had not participated in key decisions.<\/p>\n

SBF accused Wang of creating a function that allowed Alameda to trade funds that were not present on FTX and claimed that he did not know what happened to Alameda’s billion-dollar debt in the crashed crypto market in 2022.<\/p>\n

In his testimony, he accused Ellison of neglecting risk management and claimed that FTX clients did not defraud their assets exceeding $8 billion<\/strong>, but rather, Alameda borrowed from the exchange.<\/p>\n
