Damian Williams, the federal prosecutor overseeing the case of Samuel Bankman-Fried, has been in office only 14 months but he has already handled a series of white-collar prosecutions. When a reporter asked at a news conference on Tuesday where the new case ranked in a district that had prosecuted people like Bernard Madoff, the infamous Ponzi schemer, Mr. Williams said it was hard to compare.
“But I think it’s fair to say,” he added, “that by anyone’s lights, this is one of the biggest financial frauds in American history.”
