Key Points:
Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder of FTX, is currently facing a trial in which Caroline Ellison, the star witness in the fraud trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, is testifying against him.
According to CNBC, Ellison revealed that one of the ways Bankman-Fried to repay FTX customer’s accounts was by raising money from Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS).
Ellison, who pleaded guilty to fraud charges, previously disclosed that Bankman-Fried directed her and other staff members to funnel billions of dollars to sister hedge fund Alameda Research, defrauding FTX customers.
When facing a situation where crypto lender Genesis called back loans and requested to see the balance sheet, Bankman-Fried instructed Ellison to create “alternative” balance sheets that painted a better financial picture for Alameda. By omitting crucial information and hiding borrowed customer money, Bankman-Fried aimed to deceive both Genesis and FTX customers.
The internal balance sheet showed liabilities of $15.6 billion, while the numbers presented to the lender indicated just under $8 billion. Bankman-Fried even discussed the possibility of raising money from MBS to make FTX customers whole.
