Sam Bankman-Fried isn't going down without a fight. The disgraced FTX founder on Tuesday pleaded not guilty on all counts, including multiple charges of fraud and conspiracy.
Bankman-Fried, 30, is going a different route than his co-executives at FTX: Gary Wang, co-founder of FTX, and Caroline Ellison, CEO of Alameda Research, have both pleaded guilty.
Indeed, there is widespread consensus that FTX's leadership engaged in criminal activity. Even current CEO John J. Ray III has described the situation as "old-fashioned embezzlement."
The U.S. attorney of the Southern District of New York filed the charges in December, along with parallel actions from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
