The US Securities and Exchange Commission has charged the auditor of collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX with misconduct, saying the firm took on Sam Bankman-Fried’s company as a client without properly understanding the crypto market. Prager Metis, an accounting firm that ranks outside the top 50 US firms by revenue, gave a clean bill of health to FTX’s financial results for the two years before it collapsed in November 2022 with an $8bn hole in its balance sheet.
Prager Metis will pay a civil penalty of $745,000 to settle the charges related to FTX, without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings. Bruce Braun, an attorney for Prager Metis at the law firm Sidley Austin, said that “like others, it was a victim of the collusive fraud by management at FTX. Prager Metis remains dedicated to audit quality and committed to continuous improvement.
