SBF repeatedly lied to get out of “supervillain” prison term, FTX CEO alleges


FTX CEO: "The harm was vast. The remorse is nonexistent."

And there are plenty of things we did not get back, like the bribes to Chinese officials or the hundreds of millions of dollars he spent to buy access to or time with celebrities or politicians or investments for which he grossly overpaid having done zero diligence. Instead of being "enemies" stopping FTX customers from clawing back all the funds stolen, Ray told Kaplan that his team "worked tirelessly in the months following the collapse to institute governance, controls, and to preserve and protect assets." "The value we hope to return to creditors would not exist without the tens of thousands of hours that dedicated professionals have spent digging through the rubble of Mr. Bankman-Fried's sprawling criminal enterprise to unearth every possible dollar, token, or other asset that was spent on luxury homes, private jets, overpriced speculative ventures, and otherwise lost to the four winds," Ray told Kaplan, adding that "achieving anticipated recovery levels" that Bankman-Fried suggested all FTX victims are expecting is actually "by no means assured."
