Embattled FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has been slapped with 8 charges by federal prosecutors, including conspiracy and wire fraud. The ex-CEO was arrested in the Bahamas on Monday – the first move by the authorities to hold those involved in the FTX meltdown and the subsequent loss of billions in client funds accountable. In addition, the SEC has filed a civil complaint against Bankman-Fried with accusations of his involvement in a “scheme to default equity investors”. Industry players and market watchers have called this a positive development for the cryptocurrency ecosystem, citing increasing accountability, and much-needed oversight for the historically poorly-regulated industry.
