If SBF is found guilty, what should become of Binance's CZ?FTX's collapse was in some ways triggered by Sam Bankman-Fried's biggest rival.Just days after CoinDesk published a report highlighting FTX's shaky financials, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) tweeted that he would be selling his $2.1 billion stake in FTX and dumping his treasure trove of FTX's proprietary tokens. CZ may have been waiting years for the perfect moment to make his move.But as we've covered in Episodes 1 & 2, SBF isn't charged with FTX's collapse – he's charged with actions he took leading up to FTX's collapse. So, as the Department of Justice takes a second look at CZ's own actions in running his exchange, what should we make of similar allegations? Commingling of funds, encrypted communication, manipulated trading volume, too much centralized power, shadow companies and worse. The government has been reluctant to charge CZ criminally, out of fear that doing so could spark a bank run on Binance similar to the one that took down FTX. But the question is: If SBF goes to jail is CZ next?You can read and watch Coinage's full reporting on SBF's legal defense at Coinage.Media.

In the first episode of Coinage's investigation into SBF's upcoming defense, we looked at SBF's right-hand woman: Caroline Ellison. She is one of three FTX executives who have pleaded guilty, along with Gary Wang and Nishad Singh. This episode explores SBF's claim that a fourth conspirator played an even larger role in FTX's collapse: FTX's legal partners at major law firms Fenwick & West and Sullivan & Cromwell. It's a lofty claim, and no doubt one that will be heavily scrutinized from all sides in the courtroom, but it's also not without support – even from 18 state regulators and a bipartisan group of senators, who wrote, “given their long standing legal work for FTX, they may well bear a measure of responsibility for the damage wrecked on the company's victims.”Sullivan & Cromwell is now leading FTX's bankruptcy process and is set to rake in nearly $800 million in legal fees over the next two years. SBF claims that money is being drained from customers, but what do they think? You can read and watch Coinage's full reporting on SBF's legal defense at Coinage.Media.

Just days before Sam Bankman-Fried landed in a Brooklyn prison for breaking his bail agreement, he agreed to answer questions from the Coinage community. It would become his last interview before he was admitted to Metropolitan Detention Center. Surprisingly, he provided about 50 pages of documents outlining his defense strategy. In this exclusive series, we explore exactly what SBF says led to FTX downfall, and discuss SBF's exclusive defense strategy with experts, including the former prosecutor who took down Bernie Madoff.In Episode 1, we take a closer look at SBF's right-hand woman: Caroline Ellison. One of three FTX executives who have pleaded guilty, along with Gary Wang and Nishad Singh, Caroline Ellison was CEO of Alameda Research, SBF's bespoke trading firm that operated on FTX. Caroline admits that she committed crimes during her time as the head of Alameda. SBF said he was unaware — and says it's precisely because he was unaware of just how badly Caroline was running Alameda that its collapse took down FTX. But does that defense stand a chance at trial?“It's tough for an MIT graduate who comes off as kind of a master of the universe type to argue that he's an idiot,” says Marc Litt.
