In a superseding indictment unveiled Thursday, prosecutors allege Bankman-Fried used billions of dollars in customer funds to fund speculative venture investments and try to purchase influence over cryptocurrency regulation in Washington, D.C. by steering tens of millions of dollars of illegal campaign contributions to both Democrats and Republicans.
The new counts include conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitter.
The 30-year-old faces trial in October and was extradited from the Bahamas to the U.S. in December; last month, he pled not guilty to the original eight counts, including conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire, securities and commodities fraud.

Within days, allegations of mismanagement came to the fore. In a court filing, longtime bankruptcy attorney John J. Ray III, who took over as FTX CEO, បញ្ហា a scathing critique of the company’s management, which he noted was marked by “faulty regulatory oversight” at the hands of a “very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated and potentially compromised individuals.” In filings, federal prosecutors have ចោទ Bankman-Fried of fraudulently using FTX investors’ funds to pay Alameda Research’s expenses, and misleading Alameda’s lenders and FTX’s investors about the two firms’ financial condition, among other things.
