Former FTX US President Disagreement With SBF During Work, Report said

Key Points:

• Brett Harrison, the former FTX US president, is reported to have fallen out with Sam Bankman-Fried, which led to his resignation.
• He was concerned about the way FTX US was run, but his prize money was significantly reduced.
• This is similar to what Harrison expressed earlier about his “dream job.”

According to a claim from the current leadership of the recent collapse cryptocurrency exchange FTX, former FTX US President Brett Harrison quit last September in part due to a protracted conflict with CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and members of his inner circle, this is similar to the previous statements that Harrison made.

The report, released on Sunday with the United States Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, is FTX CEO John J. Ray III’s first extensive examination of the exchange’s management shortcomings since taking over following its stunning collapse last November.

According to the report, when he expressed his concerns to Bankman-Fried and Nishad Singh, the former director of engineering, his bonus was dramatically decreased, and he was told by company attorneys to apologize to Bankman-Fried. The former FTX US president flatly refused.

Harrison was concerned about the way FTX US was being operated, including a lack of adequate delegation of responsibility, a formal management structure, and critical hiring.

Ray’s study depicts FTX and affiliated firms as a sloppily organized network of corporations governed by Bankman-Fried and his circle of friends, who were unconcerned about the organization or internal controls.

Rebuilding FTX’s financial sheets has been a continuous, bottom-up activity that continues to need substantial professional work, partially because FTX’s leadership often lost track of accounts and didn’t bother cashing checks, which were gathered like junk mail, according to the study.

A portfolio overview for June 2022, which was meant to indicate Alameda’s crypto position composition, was allegedly faked.

“Alameda wasn’t even clear on what its own positions were, let alone hedging or accounting for them,” the paper reads.

Another employee in the exchange’s legal department was sacked summarily, according to the report, after voicing concerns about Alameda’s lack of corporate controls, qualified leadership, and risk management.

The former FTX US president previously stated his reasons for quitting FTX, a multibillion-dollar company at its peak. He discusses his experience at the firm, claiming that it is not the “dream job” that many people believe it to be. He also noted a shift in Bankman-mentality, Fried’s, which led to a quarrel between them, and his decision to quit occurred after months of internal strife.
