It was during those hours of questioning that Bankman-Fried repeatedly said he couldn't recall specific details from his time as CEO of FTX, his now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange. Asked whether his support for regulation in the crypto industry was contingent upon protecting customers, Bankman-Fried testified Monday: "I don't recall that specifically, no." He similarly struggled to recall whether he ever mentioned to the public that while trading on FTX, Alameda didn't play by the same rules as other customers.

Asked if he instructed Ellison to purchase cryptocurrencies in her capacity as co-CEO of Alameda, Bankman-Fried was vague, saying, "I don't recall an instance.

Caroline Ellison held an all-hands meeting with Alameda employees where she admitted to taking FTX customer funds. The news sent shockwaves through the office of Alameda Research, the crypto trading firm also owned by Sam Bankman-Fried. AdvertisementAdvertisementAt the all-hands meeting, Ellison appeared "sunken, kind of slouching," and "did not display confident body language," Drappi said. At the meeting, Drappi asked Ellison whether she was aware that Alameda was taking customer money without their permission. Bankman-Fried's lawyers argued Thursday that Ellison's statements at the meeting went far beyond what Bankman-Fried intended to tell Alameda employees.

☆ The $8 billion Sam Bankman-Fried criminal trial starts today — here's what's at stake and how we got here
  + stars: | 2023-10-03 | by ( Mackenzie Sigalos | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +19 min
In the first trial, Bankman-Fried faces seven criminal counts related to the collapse of the crypto empire he built, including wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering. Alameda, FTX and a host of subsidiaries Bankman-Fried founded filed for bankruptcy protection in Delaware. FTX's own terms of use specifically forbade him, or Alameda, from using customer money for anything — unless the customer allowed it. And from FTX's inception, there was a lot of customer money. Bankman-Fried and other executives admitted to each other that "FTX customer funds were irrevocably lost because Alameda had appropriated them."

☆ How Sam Bankman-Fried swindled $8 billion in customer money, according to federal prosecutors

The firm's "years-long" fraud didn't just extend to playing with customer money, according to the SEC. Unlike those other market makers or power users, Alameda had a set of powerful tools at its disposal. The kind of high-frequency trading that FTX users engaged in made that invaluable. Alameda secured its loans from Voyager and BlockFi with FTT tokens, which FTX minted itself. Major Alameda lenders, like Voyager, declared bankruptcy.
☆ Exclusive: How a secret software change allowed FTX to use client money

The exemption allowed Alameda to keep borrowing funds from FTX irrespective of the value of the collateral securing those loans. The other was a mechanism whereby FTX customers deposited over $8 billion in traditional currency into bank accounts secretly controlled by Alameda. Indeed, he told investors that Alameda received no preferential treatment from FTX, the SEC complaint said. This would allow Alameda to keep borrowing more FTX funds without the need to provide more collateral. Bankman-Fried's house of cards "began to crumble" in May 2022, the SEC complaint said.

Alameda's success spurred the launch of crypto exchange FTX in the spring of 2019. A Twitter fight with the CEO of rival exchange Binance pulled the mask off the scheme. Alameda, FTX and a host of subsidiaries Bankman-Fried founded have filed for bankruptcy protection in Delaware. On Nov. 2, CoinDesk reported a leaked balance sheet showing that a significant amount of Alameda's assets were held in FTX's illiquid FTT token. On Nov. 6, according to Bankman-Fried, the exchange had roughly $5 billion of withdrawals, "the largest by a huge margin."

On Thursday, CoinDesk unearthed more secrets about the inner workings of Bankman-Fried's crypto empire, including the untraditional makeup of his inner circle. Those sources told CoinDesk that both operations were run by Bankman-Fried's inner circle of 10 roommates. Among the named members of Bankman-Fried's inner circle were Caroline Ellison, Alameda's current CEO. Some employees outside Bankman-Fried's inner circle noted that they were shocked by the events of the past week. "Some employees kept their life savings on FTX," an anonymous source told CoinDesk.
