Former boss of collapsed crypto-exchange says he has duty to try to recoup investors’ lost money

Sam Bankman-Fried, the former boss of the failed crypto-exchange FTX, has said he hopes to start a new business to help pay back the victims of his old firm’s collapse.

Speaking to the BBC from the Bahamas, he said he would “give anything” to be able to begin a new venture in order to recoup his users’ lost investments. “I’m going to be thinking about how we can help the world, and if users haven’t gotten much back, I’m going to be thinking about what I can do for them,” Bankman-Fried told the BBC. “And I think at the very least I have a duty to FTX users to do right by them as best as I can.”

When asked whether he would start a new business to pay investors back, he said: “I would give anything to be able to do that. And I’m going to try if I can.”

Every thing but jail time

Yep, and there's a man on the moon

Will the Democrats give back the money he stole and gave them for the mid terms? Will he ven do time? My guess for both is a big fat NO.

Just once, just once, I would love to see people like this held accountable. Too many friends in high places made richer by deceit for that to happen, though.

Sure.

Can you run a Ponzi scheme from inside Federal Prisons?

Would do anything to stay out of jail

Is SBF trying to create the first super-Ponzi... a series of Ponzis which is itself a Ponzi?

sure 🙄

Don't worry he will come back but repay anyone forget it. We live in a world of greed and rational thinking go's out the windows. The old saying 'if it sounds to good to be true it probably is.'

I wouldn’t trust him with a paper round

It’s so good how he worked with the democrats and conned everyone. $1 billion the democrats made and now they are ensuring he is not punished. Together they have made the rich richer and given crypto a bad name. Mission complete.

If he was a republican MAGA supporter, he would be in prison and you would cheer it.
