Sam Bankman-Fried will not face second trial after multibillion-dollar crypto fraud conviction

Sam Bankman-Fried will not face second trial after multibillion-dollar crypto fraud conviction
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

US prosecutors say they do not plan to conduct a second trial against Sam Bankman-Fried, who was convicted last month of stealing from customers of his now-bankrupt FTX cryptocurrency exchange.

In a letter filed on Friday night in federal court in Manhattan, prosecutors said the “strong public interest” in a prompt resolution of their case against the 31-year-old former billionaire outweighed the benefits of a second trial.

Prosecutors said that interest “weighs particularly heavily here”, given that Bankman-Fried’s scheduled sentencing on 28 March 2024 is likely to include orders of forfeiture and restitution for victims of his crimes.

Jurors convicted Bankman-Fried on 2 November on all seven fraud and conspiracy counts he faced. Prosecutors had accused him of looting $8bn from FTX customers out of sheer greed.

Lawyers for Bankman-Fried declined to comment.

Bankman-Fried had faced six additional charges that had been severed from his first trial, including campaign finance violations, conspiracy to commit bribery and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business.

He had been extradited in December 2022 from the Bahamas, where FTX was based, to face the seven earlier charges.

The Bahamas, however, had yet to grant its consent for a trial on the remaining charges, leaving the timetable uncertain, prosecutors said.

Bankman-Fried’s verdict came nearly one year after FTX filed for bankruptcy, erasing his once-$26bn personal fortune in one of the fastest collapses of a major participant in US financial markets.

Bankman-Fried could face decades in prison when he is sentenced by US district judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan.

Prosecutors said much of the evidence that could be offered at a second trial was already presented at the first trial.

They also said a second trial would not affect how much time Bankman-Fried could face in prison under recommended federal guidelines, because Kaplan could consider all of Bankman-Fried’s conduct when sentencing him for the counts on which he was convicted.

Bankman-Fried is expected to appeal against his conviction.

He testified at trial that he made mistakes running FTX, including by not creating a team to oversee risk management, but did not steal customer funds.

Bankman-Fried also said he thought the borrowing of money from FTX by his crypto-focused hedge fund Alameda Research was permissible, and that he did not realise how precarious its finances had become until shortly before both collapsed.

The graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been jailed since August, when Kaplan revoked his bail after concluding that Bankman-Fried had likely tampered with prospective trial witnesses.
