Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried has surged back into the headlines this week, despite being nearly two years into his 25-year federal prison sentence following one of the most catastrophic financial implosions in recent memory. According to a number of reports — including a detailed breakdown from Mitrade, Coinpedia, and Phemex — the former FTX CEO has broken his silence from behind bars, publishing a lengthy statement via GETTR that squarely blames the Biden administration for his dramatic 2022 arrest. Bankman-Fried paints his downfall as an act of political retribution, claiming that a shift in his campaign donations from Democrats to Republicans triggered regulators to move against him at a pivotal moment. He asserts his arrest was orchestrated to prevent him from testifying before Congress and to sabotage a major crypto regulation bill he had helped draft. While Bankman-Fried's bombshell accusations are making waves — with House Republicans demanding that SEC Chair Gary Gensler release internal communications about the arrest's timing — officials maintain the data from Gensler's government phone covering late 2022 into 2023 was deleted due to IT policy, deepening the intrigue and fueling partisan divides.He's also reignited the debate over his reputation, as outlets like CoinShares note a new PR push and a stream of public posts where he claims he now possesses only $100,000 and lost around $20 billion, adding a note of personal drama to the financial chaos that followed FTX's spectacular collapse. The tales of lost billions and politics have returned to the crypto zeitgeist, spreading quickly among influencers such as @AltcoinDaily and igniting renewed trader anxiety about the effects FTX's estate liquidations could have on markets like Solana and FTX's own FTT token.On the legal front, Good Morning America and Cryptonews confirm Bankman-Fried's appeal is advancing, with his next hearing slated for early November. In the meantime, his notoriety endures, with stories surfacing about his fellow inmates — a recent headline highlighted rapper Sean ‘Diddy' Combs, his former cellmate, now making his own headlines with an appeal of his conviction. Meanwhile, the Bankman-Fried name stays visible at industry events, as his father Joe Bankman appeared at the White Collar Conference just last week, delivering a candid interview about the family's ongoing pain and resilience.In summary, while Bankman-Fried remains incarcerated at Mendota federal prison in California, his relentless campaign to reframe his legacy keeps him firmly in the limelight, fueling ongoing debates about crypto regulation, political power, and the blurred boundaries between finance and politics in America.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

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

Thanks!By next Thursday, August 16, creditors must vote on whether to approve the Chapter 11 liquidation plan of FTX, the once high-flying cryptocurrency exchange. FTX's former CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried aka SBF—the son of two Stanford law professors, who went on to become one of the world's youngest billionaires—is behind bars. He's in the process of appealing his convictions for fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering, as well as his 25-year prison sentence.Ryne Miller served as general counsel of FTX US, one of several corporate entities that was part of the sprawling FTX empire. Working out of New York, he was not part of SBF's high-living, Bahamas-based inner circle. But after a fateful phone call in November 2022 from SBF's father, Joe Bankman, informing Ryne of a multibillion-dollar “liquidity hole”—some $8 billion to $10 billion in FTX customer deposits that had somehow gone missing—he played a crucial role in responding to the situation. By the end of that week, FTX was in bankruptcy.Why did Ryne leave a partnership at Sullivan & Cromwell, one of the world's leading law firms, to become the GC of FTX US? Should he have noticed certain red flags at the company, such as the lack of a board or a weak compliance function? What lessons does he draw from his time at the company? And how is he putting them to work today at his new law firm, Miller Strategic Partners, which marks its one-year anniversary next month? Ryne and I covered all this and more, in the latest edition of the Original Jurisdiction podcast.Show Notes:* Ryne Miller bio, Miller Strategic Partners* Former FTX general counsel starts his own law firm, by MK Manoylov for The BlockPrefer reading to listening?

Stanford Law School’s Joe Bankman writes on tax policy topics such as progressivity, consumption tax, and the role of tax in the structure of Silicon Valley start-ups. He has gained wide attention for his work on how government might control the use of tax shelters and has testified before Congress and other legislative bodies on tax compliance problems posed by the cash economy. He has written and spoken extensively on how we might use technology to simplify filing.
