Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried remains behind bars, serving a 25-year sentence after being convicted last fall on seven counts including fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering in one of the largest financial crimes in U.S. history, according to CBS News. The collapse of FTX, which prosecutors say resulted in more than $8 billion in customer losses, continues to define his legacy, with the exchange only now beginning to repay victims almost two years after its implosion. While Bankman-Fried's legal team has mounted an appeal, arguing that he was the victim of a public rush to judgment, there have been no major judicial developments in the past few days—the case is still in the post-conviction phase, with no indication of imminent breakthroughs.However, speculation about his future has absolutely dominated crypto circles and beyond, following President Donald Trump's surprise pardon this past week of Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the Binance founder. This move sent shockwaves through prediction markets and social media, where chatter about a potential “SBF pardon” exploded overnight. Polymarket, the crypto prediction platform, saw odds for a Trump pardon of Bankman-Fried spike from under 6% to as high as 17% in under 12 hours, according to CoinCentral and TheStreet, with hundreds of thousands of dollars now riding on the bet. A separate Polymarket contract asking whether he will be released from custody this year briefly hit 19% before stabilizing around 15%. But here's the thing: this is pure speculation, fueled by wishful thinking, online memes, and a flurry of headlines—there's zero credible evidence that Trump is considering such a move, and legal analysts like Jake Chervinsky of Variant Fund, quoted by CoinCentral, are openly skeptical, noting Bankman-Fried's Democratic mega-donor past and the gravity of his convictions.Still, the buzz is loud enough that Bankman-Fried's mother and associates have reportedly been quietly seeking allies in Trump's orbit, and his social media presence—ostensibly operated by a friend—has playfully retweeted memes about the pardon odds, according to TheStreet, sparking further online chatter. Meanwhile, Caroline Ellison, his former colleague and ex-girlfriend, was just sentenced to 24 months in prison for her role in the FTX fraud, according to CBS News, a development that serves as another reminder of the scope of the scandal.In the broader culture, the paperback edition of Michael Lewis's “Going Infinite,” which chronicled Bankman-Fried's rise and fall, is about to hit shelves with a new afterword—likely stirring fresh debate about his true character and culpability. While Bankman-Fried himself remains in FCI-Terminal Island prison, the narrative around him is anything but static: a mix of serious legal consequences, feverish prediction market action, and the occasional ironic meme, all reflecting a cultural obsession with one of crypto's most infamous figures. No public appearances, no major business moves—just the ongoing saga of a fallen billionaire, a presidential pardon rumor mill, and a public still trying to make sense of it all.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Building a successful fintech consulting firm without venture capital requires more than industry knowledge.

Tilda Swinton is one of the UK's most singular and celebrated performers. Over four decades she has delivered unforgettable and varied screen performances, notably Orlando, The Chronicles of Narnia, Michael Clayton and Asteroid City and collaborated with artists and filmmakers. She joins Anita Rani to talk about a new exhibition in Amsterdam celebrating her work and the enduring relationships that have inspired her.According to the latest data, homelessness is rising. Over 130,000 households were in temporary accommodation in June, up 7.6% from last year. Charities warn that women are underrepresented in the data, as they often face different challenges to men. The Women's Rough Sleeping Census, now in its fourth year, aims to address this. Rebecca Goshawk, Director of Business Development at Solace Women's Aid, joins Anita to discuss it. Named after pioneering racing driver Gwenda Stewart, Gwenda's Garage was a real place: where three female mechanics defied the odds by setting up their own garage in Sheffield in the 1980s. Their inspiring story is now a musical on stage in Sheffield which is based on these true events, of women fighting everyday sexism, homophobia and Section 28. Anita is joined by Roz Wollen, one of the co-founders of the original Gwenda's Garage and Val Regan, the production's composer and musical director.The FCA has called on banks and payment firms to bring in stricter controls protecting customers from romance fraud after a study showed a number of missed “red flags” that led to people losing huge sums of money to people creating fake online profiles. They found that women tended to sustain these relationships for longer which could mean a bigger scam. Anita speaks to Beth Harris, Head of Financial Crime at the Financial Conduct Authority to ask how we can be aware of these scams and avoid them, and what banks should be doing to assist.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Corinna Jones

Hello, and welcome to episode 193 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I am Chris Kirkbride.

Additionally, we look at global law enforcement efforts, covering the historic US and UK crackdown on the Cambodia-based Prince Group cybercrime network, and the case of "Bitcoin Jesus" Roger Ver, who admitted tax fraud and concealing offshore assets in a deal requiring him to pay $48 million in restitution.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available at www.crimes.financial.

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried, once the golden boy of crypto and now inmate number 9917–005, has made waves again from behind bars with a dramatic confession. In multiple interviews and statements made public this week—including an extensive sit-down with Mother Jones and remarks published by outlets like Cointelegraph and Cointribune—he declared that his "single biggest mistake by far" was handing over control of FTX to John Ray III in November 2022, not the massive fraud for which he's serving 25 years. According to Bankman-Fried, the real point of no return for his $32 billion empire wasn't the billions funneled to Alameda Research, but those final minutes before bankruptcy: He claims he got a call minutes after signing over control about a potential bailout that might have saved FTX, but it was too late, as Ray had already filed for bankruptcy. This move is now being dissected on social media, where crypto insiders and former FTX customers spar about whether SBF is delusional, deflecting blame, or, somehow, hitting on a truth about the deadly logic of bankruptcy lawyers—especially Sullivan & Cromwell, who've reportedly earned over $171 million in fees since the collapse, according to Mitrade and Mother Jones.He hasn't faded quietly. While the mainstream press barely glances at his saga anymore, key crypto podcasts like Reveal and industry rags like Cointelegraph are keeping the FTX corpse warm, detailing how John Ray and the bankruptcy court continue to wrangle billions for distribution to creditors. Meanwhile, creditors have now received over $7.8 billion in repayments as of late September, but many are still angry, insisting that bankruptcy didn't deliver real justice or transparency.Behind the scenes, Bankman-Fried's parents—Stanford legal stars Joe Bankman and Barbara Fried—are helping spearhead their son's longshot appeal, hoping to overturn his conviction or even secure a pardon, possibly from Donald Trump, who's now openly embracing crypto in the White House. SBF himself tried to peddle his side of things in a video call with Tucker Carlson—a bold play for public opinion with upcoming appeal hearings just weeks away.In all this, he maintains his innocence, repeating to anyone who'll listen that he "never defrauded anyone" and that FTX was never actually bankrupt. The crypto world, meanwhile, has moved on to fresh scandals and new bull runs, but the saga of Sam Bankman-Fried continues to echo, his recent interviews reigniting fierce debates over culpability, governance, and whether history will remember him as a crook, a scapegoat, or something far more tragic.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this podcast, El Khoury says the anonymity of virtual currency transactions is supercharging the ability for criminals to grow their empires. Transcript: https://bit.ly/3KOjzeA

In this episode of "Financial Crime Matters," Kieran talks with AUSTRAC CEO Brendan Thomas about his agency's efforts to implement a vast extension of Australia's anti-money laundering regime to about 80,000 new entities under legislation commonly referred to as T2. In service to those efforts, Brendan details AUSTRAC's outreach to law firms, accountants, real estate agencies and other designated non-financial businesses and persons who will be required to create an anti-money laundering (AML) risk analysis, appoint an AML officer and be ready to file suspicious matters reports by July 2026. Key to Australia's need to come into compliance with the Financial Action Task Force's global standards, the extension of AML regulation is also central to the country's plan to actually stem the flood of illicit funds from transnational crime organizations into Australia's banking, gaming, real estate, precious metals and other sectors, Brendan says. As part of its commitment to effectuate more fund seizures and prosecutions, Brendan discusses how the AUSTRAC initiative will also utilize public-private information sharing, embodied by the country's Fintel Alliance, increased staffing, and AI and other technological tools to weaponize what will ultimately be 100,000 anti-financial crime reporting entities under T2.

What's worse than a conspiracy theory? When the actual conspiracy is even worse than the theory. Jeffrey Epstein carried out a kompromat operation for years, capturing American elite, unleashing a national security nightmare, and destroying the lives of children. In this special episode with Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman, we examine Epstein, Trump, and Russia–and the threats that still remain from the real life QAnon.  Epstein was the closest thing Trump had to a friend, going back to the 1980s. The rise of these criminal networks intertwined: Epstein, Trump, and Rudy Giuliani pushing out the Italian mafia as mayor of New York to make room for the Russian mafia–a takeover that accelerated after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Epstein's wife-in-crime Ghislaine Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, was a documented KGB asset with a sideline in laundering Soviet billions, and reportedly also worked with Israeli intelligence, the Mossad, at a time when the Kremlin used the Jackson-Vanik amendment passed by Congress to release spies and criminal assets among the Jewish Soviet citizens, like Lautman's family, seeking refuge in the U.S. While Epstein's survivors beg for justice and promise to release their own list of elite pedophiles, the GOP continue the Epstein cover-up to protect convicted felon Trump, their battering ram against democracy. QAnon was deflection, fueled by Russian disinformation to protect their wrecking ball in the White House. Expect more Russian psyops as the far-right Epstein cover-up continues. Call your reps and demand: release the Epstein files.  Hear the full episode by supporting our independent journalism–your early warning system–at Patreon.com/Gaslit at the Truth-teller $5/month or higher.

Almost €9.4 million was laundered through money mule accounts in the 12 months to H1 2025, according to new figures released today by FraudSMART, the fraud awareness initiative led by Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI). While the amounts moved through these accounts vary, they typically range between €5,000 and €10,000 per case. The publication of today's figures come as FraudSMART, with support from AMLÉ (formerly the Union of Students Ireland or USI), launches the 'Don't be a mule' campaign. A money mule is someone who receives stolen money or proceeds of crime into their bank account and transfers it into another account, often in return for money or an expensive gift. While people of any age are susceptible to becoming a money mule, FraudSMART members have found that the majority of money mule bank accounts belong to those aged between 18 and 24 years of age, with some cases involving children as young as 14. New research conducted by FraudSMART reveals that: Almost a third (30%) of 18-24-year-olds reported that they, or someone they know, have been approached to use their bank account to transfer money. One in four (27%) 18-24-year-olds admitted they would be likely to consider using their bank account to transfer money on behalf of someone else, in exchange for keeping some of the money. 47% of 18-24-year-olds said they had never heard of the term money mule and 52% said they did not understand what it means. Awareness of the consequences of money muling is lower among 18-24-year-olds compared to older age groups. 26% are unaware that it could help fund other criminal activity, 31% are unaware that they would be committing a money laundering offence, 35% do not understand they could face jail time, and 42% are unaware it could affect their ability to obtain international travel or work visas. 60% of parents of teenagers surveyed said they have not discussed the risks of money muling with their children. Young people are being recruited through social media adverts promising 'easy' money Niamh Davenport, Head of Financial Crime, BPFI said: "Criminals are increasingly using social media to target teenagers and young adults, luring them with cash or gifts to act as money mules. Alarmingly, our research shows that nearly one in three (30%) people aged 18-24 have either been approached themselves or know someone who has been asked to move money through their bank account. Even more concerning, more than one in four (27%) of this age group admit they would be willing to transfer money on behalf of someone else in exchange for keeping a share of the money. This willingness highlights just how critical it is that we raise awareness of the risk - both in terms of serious criminal consequences and the fact that money is often linked to wider financial crime networks that fuel drugs, human trafficking, and other serious offences. An Garda Síochána warns about serious consequences of money muling Michael Cryan, Detective Superintendent at the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau stated: "It's vital that young people realise this is far from a 'victimless' crime and the consequences of taking part are severe. This is money laundering and the funds moved by money mules are linked to criminal activity, often stolen from innocent people through scams such as text message and email scams. Even more alarming, these funds frequently go on to bankroll other serious crimes including terrorism, drug trafficking, human trafficking and pay the bribes that corrupt people the world over. Money mules are recruited by Transnational Criminal Organisations and money mules enhance their capability to commit serious crimes. The money mule is a vital cog in the operations of these Transnational Criminal Organisations. That's why money muling carries such serious penalties, including the risk of a criminal record and prison sentence."
