As far as I know he's still under house arrest at his parents, I guess all their attempts to crime proof the house were successful? He gets a special laptop that can only connect to materials for his court case and his parents had to put child locks on all the other electronic devices.

FTX lawyers accuse Sam Bankman-Fried of financing his criminal defense with $10 million in misappropriated funds

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/20/sam-bankman-fried-is-paying-defense-lawyers-with-ftx-funds-lawsuit.html


quote:


Sam Bankman-Fried, co-founder of failed crypto exchange FTX, was sued in Delaware bankruptcy court on Thursday by his ex-company’s lawyers, who accuse him and members of his leadership team of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars.

The lawyers are seeking to recover funds from Bankman-Fried and former executives of FTX and sister hedge fund Alameda Research. One way the attorneys for the bankrupt exchange say Bankman-Fried pilfered money was through a $10 million gift to his father, distinguished legal scholar Joe Bankman.

Much of that $10 million gift from was routed from FTX to Bankman-Fried’s Morgan Stanley
and TD Ameritrade accounts around January 2022, the lawsuit alleges. The complaint claims those proceeds are now paying for Bankman-Fried’s criminal defense bills.

A representative for Bankman-Fried declined to comment.

He’s just been accused of witness tampering!

quote:

Prosecutors said it was apparent Bankman-Fried shared documents with the New York Times and that his lawyers have since confirmed to the government that he met with one of the article's authors in person and shared documents "that were not part of the government's discovery material."

Bankman-Fried's spokesperson and lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Neither New York Times nor Ellison's lawyers responded to Reuters' requests for comment.

The prosecutors argued that by sharing these documents, Bankman-Fried was trying to malign Ellison's credibility, and that such conduct could chill witnesses from testifying and taint the jury pool.

"By selectively sharing certain private documents with the New York Times, the defendant is attempting to discredit a witness, cast Ellison in a poor light, and advance his defense through the press and outside the constraints of the courtroom and rules of evidence: that Ellison was a jilted lover who perpetrated these crimes alone", prosecutors wrote in the letter.

In Bed Bath and Beyond news, they recently published their plan for chapter 11 bankruptcy. As expected, the plan explicitly states that shares will be cancelled. It's both funny and sad to see people desperately grasping at various straws. I present to you a small sample:

- When the board is dissolved, a plan administrator will be appointed to administer the bankruptcy. Will this plan administrator lead the company into a merger/hostile takeover?

- A law firm that also deals with mergers and acquisitions is counsel to the creditors comitee. I don't know how this is relevant, but it has been posted with "suck on this shills" as the headline.

- Bankruptcy plans can be amended. Hertz also amended their plans, and their shareholders ended up getting something in the end. Relatedly, writing that shares will be cancelled is just standard boilerplate text that doesn't really mean anything.

- Sixth street is a trojan horse for Carl Icahn and Ryan Cohen. Since sixth street acquire "collateral", this will somehow be good for investors. This one was pretty incoherent.

- The bankruptcy plan contains the phrase "In full and final satisfaction of each Allowed Interest in BBB, each Allowed Interest in BBB shall be canceled, released, and extinguished, and will be of no further force or effect and no Holder of Interests in BBB shall be entitled to any recovery or distribution under the Plan on account of such Interests." The ape takes this to mean "Sounds to me like Once each and every shareholder is fully satisfactorily compensated, the shares of BBB will be canceled".

- A lot of people saying that the text is just standard legalese that doesn't really mean anything. The real plan will be coming soon.

This one is my favorite. After all dissolved and liquidated are not the same thing!

My Interpretation / Opinion:

Sounds to me like a change in control is happening.

Take that for what you will, but most of us that can ELI5 know what this means.

The company is being dissolved but not liquidated.

Does the owner actually control the abandoned Sears/Kmart properties? I suspect they don't but I'm trying to wrap my head around why setting fire to something Sears no longer owns would be an attack on Sears.
