Why the Legal Process for FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried Could Take Years

Episode 430

TuongVy Le, partner and head of regulatory & policy at Bain Capital Crypto, discusses how the legal process for Sam Bankman-Fried in the wake of the FTX scandal could play out. 


Show highlights:

  • the allegations that Bankman-Fried manipulated the market during the Terra crash
  • the motivations for Bankman-Fried's media appearances
  • what the selection of Mark Cohen as a lawyer says about the potential charges and the case
  • why SBF hasn't been arrested yet
  • how the US investigating the potential involvement of Bahamian government officials could complicate cooperation of an arrest of SBF in the Bahamas
  • why this case is very different from Bernie Madoff's
  • what evidence would be needed to say, legally, that SBF committed fraud
  • the potential outcomes of the legal case for SBF and how many years of prison time he could face
