Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced former chief of FTX, denied stashing away billions of dollars and gave his take on what happened to his bankrupt crypto exchange in a lengthy new post on Substack published Thursday.
He denied stealing funds and claimed FTX and sister company Alameda Research collapsed because of the crypto market meltdown and inadequate hedging on Alameda’s part.
“I didn’t steal funds, and I certainly didn’t stash billions away,” Bankman-Fried wrote. Later in the post, he concluded that “Alameda lost money due to a market crash it was not adequately hedged for.”
While alleging the trading firm “failed to sufficiently hedge its market exposure,” he also said he “hasn’t run Alameda for the last few years.”
