Bankman-Fried, who founded the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, was found guilty in November on seven counts, including fraud, embezzlement, and criminal conspiracy, for stealing $8 billion from FTX customers. He’s serving a 25-year sentence.

In a press release in September 2023, U.S. Attorney Damian William said, “Ryan Salame agreed to advance the interests of FTX, Alameda Research, and his co-conspirators through an unlawful political influence campaign and through an unlicensed money transmitting business, which helped FTX grow faster and larger by operating outside of the law.”
