The Sam Bankman-Fried (#SBF) Trial: Corruption, Deception, Scandal!
About this program
The collapse of FTX, one of the largest crypto exchanges, was quickly followed by the criminal indictment of its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried. Federal prosecutors allege that Bankman-Fried and his associates diverted customer funds to an affiliated hedge fund which they used to speculate on crypto and otherwise deceived investors in FTX. On the day that the trial is scheduled to begin, a panel of securities and criminal law experts will discuss the case and how it can be understood in the context of the history of corporate fraud scandals, the intersectionality of criminal law in the corporate sphere, and what we can expect moving forward.
