Sam Bankman-Fried claims ‘I didn’t steal funds’ in first response to FTX case

Disgraced cryptocurrency boss says FTX customers could get their money back in statement published on Substack

“I didn’t steal funds, and I certainly didn’t stash billions away,” disgraced cryptocurrency boss Sam Bankman-Fried claimed on Thursday in his first detailed response to the criminal charges filed against him last month.

In a statement titled FTX Pre-Mortem Overview and published on Substack, Bankman-Fried said that millions of customers of FTX, his bankrupt exchange, could get their money back and that “very substantial recovery remains potentially available”.
