Newly-released audio has surfaced on social media featuring an interview with Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of FTX. In the interview, conducted during his house arrest, Bankman-Fried reflects on the idea of life in prison and admits to feeling guilt and culpability for the harm he has caused. Despite not wanting to think about the possibility of spending his life behind bars, he does attempt to consider ways to make amends. Bankman-Fried’s trial, which lasted almost five weeks, resulted in his conviction on all seven counts of fraud and money laundering-related charges. He now faces the prospect of more than 100 years in prison for his role in stealing approximately $8 billion from FTX customer funds. The trial also shed light on the mismanagement and deceit that occurred at FTX and its sister hedge fund, Alameda Research. Bankman-Fried’s closest confidantes, including his former girlfriend and a close friend, testified against him, revealing the extent of the fraud committed against FTX customers and investors.
