Senator Elizabeth Warren of the United States has urged that Sam Bankman Fried be prosecuted for his role in the FTX exchange crash.
Sam Bankman-Fried Must Face Charges
U.S. Senators prepared letters to the United States Justice Department requesting and demanding that the attorney conduct an inquiry into the chain of events that led to the FTX crash, to discover evidence and proof of the suspected fraud and money laundering. They also requested that FTX face the maximum penalties for its illegal actions, which put investors’ cash at risk.
Senator Elizabeth Warren reminded the attorney handling the case of the importance of prosecuting white-collar criminals while under oath and demanded that they honor that oath by taking the necessary and required action against the FTX CEO, Sam Bankman Fried, and everyone else involved in the Alameda money launderings and misuse of investor funds.
Warren has a lengthy history of being an anti-crypto zealot who does not believe in the crypto gospel. She has also been following this FTX issue since its inception, investigating and analyzing the huge impact it has had on the crypto market and community.
The financial investment company Fidelity also received a letter from Warren and two other senators warning them to rethink its decision to permit regular investors to use Bitcoin assets in their retirement plans.
They sent a letter to Sam Bankman Fried in the same week asking for specific details about the company’s policies and what caused the disaster.
Senators Worry About The Effect Of Crash On The Market
The senators have also voiced worry about the serious effects this disaster had on investors and the community in addition to the letters they have written and sent to these corporations. Following the crisis, losses were recorded, and several exchanges were impacted by the FTX collapse as they began to suffer from liquidation.
The reps stated that they don’t think the company’s demise was caused by poorly run operations and poor management techniques; rather, they think the CEO participated in dishonest business activities in order to enrich himself and put the company and investors’ money in peril.
