SBF Appeals from Prison, 35-Page Document Accuses Judicial Misconduct

Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder of FTX currently imprisoned, is appealing his fraud conviction and 25-year sentence through a 35-page pro se motion filed by his mother. The motion cites newly discovered evidence and alleges multiple judicial and prosecutorial misconducts. Key claims include the absence of favorable witnesses like Ryan Salame, who was allegedly threatened by prosecutors, and coerced testimony from Nishad Singh. SBF also challenges the prosecution’s financial narrative, presenting a sworn statement from former FTX data head Daniel Chapsky arguing that Alameda’s account was misrepresented to show artificial losses. Additionally, SBF accuses Sullivan & Cromwell, FTX’s bankruptcy counsel, of undervaluing assets to support the narrative of insolvency, despite high customer recovery rates. The motion further suggests political targeting by the Biden administration and requests Judge Kaplan’s recusal due to alleged bias. Legal experts view the appeal as an uphill battle given the high bar for new evidence and judicial discretion in such motions.

SEC Moves To Bar FTX Execs And Ex-Alameda Research CEO From Public Company Roles

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed proposed final consent orders against former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison and ex-FTX executives Gary Wang and Nishad Singh. The regulator alleges they participated in a multi-year scheme where FTX raised over $1.8 billion by misleading investors about the safety of the platform and the relationship with Alameda. The SEC claims Alameda was given special privileges, including an unlimited line of credit funded by FTX customer deposits, which were misused for trading, investments, and executive loans. Without admitting guilt, the three agreed to permanent antifraud violations bans. Ellison accepted a 10-year officer-director bar, while Wang and Singh agreed to 8-year bans.

Binance Suspends Employee for Insider Trading. What Happened

Binance has terminated an employee for insider trading after discovering they used confidential information for personal gain. The incident involved a post from the official Binance Futures account on X (formerly Twitter) on December 7th. The employee, aware of the post's content in advance, launched a token with a matching name and design just seconds before the announcement was published. Binance labeled this a severe abuse of the employee's position and a violation of the exchange's professional conduct code. The individual was immediately dismissed and is facing further disciplinary measures. The exchange stated it is cooperating with relevant authorities in the employee's jurisdiction and will pursue legal action. The scheme was uncovered following user complaints. Binance's team welcomed the community's vigilance and has distributed $100,000 among the first five informants who reported the issue. Evidence suggests the token in question was "year of yellow fruit." Its launch coincided with a since-deleted post from Binance Futures containing the text: "The year of the yellow fruit and harvest! Plant wisely. Harvest abundantly." The token's price surged over 6000% following the post before crashing dramatically. Binance's own investigation announcement coincided with another sharp, brief price pump for the token.
