FTX 创始人山姆·班克曼-弗里德 (Sam Bankman-Fried) 对其加密货币帝国崩溃的 8 项指控已被纽约开封的一项新的 12 项指控所取代，该指控提供了有关这家倒闭的公司在多大程度上收买了政客的图形细节。
除了八项先前的指控 ，其中一些已被修改，联邦官员增加了企图/共谋实施银行欺诈、共谋经营无证汇款业务、共谋洗钱和共谋进行非法政治捐款和诈骗美国联邦的指控选举委员会。
先前的指控仅限于针对客户的电汇欺诈；共谋进行电汇、证券欺诈、商品欺诈和洗钱；并欺骗美国政府并违反竞选财务法。他否认有任何不当行为。
新的非法政治捐款指控取代了之前的竞选财务违规指控，尽管实际法律 SBF 被控违反两项罪名是一样的。
根据替代起诉书 [PDF]，SBF“破坏了他创立和控制的加密货币公司的运营……通过一种使 FTX 客户、投资者、金融机构、贷方和 [FEC] 受害的欺诈计划模式。”
换句话说，作为 FTX 的首席执行官，Bankman-Fried 被指控非法挪用数十亿客户资金——可能高达 80 亿美元——以资助其他活动，例如他的对冲基金 Alameda Research 的投资，以及其他涉嫌犯罪.

最新的起诉书揭示了 SBF 及其同谋在多大程度上向左右政治派别的政客和事业提供了 300 多项涉嫌非法捐款。检察官现在声称，这些款项据说总额达数千万美元，在两种不同的方式上都是非法的：通过稻草捐赠者，以及用从他的公司窃取的资金支付的款项。
根据起诉书，SBF“成为 2022 年中期选举公开报道的最大政治捐助者之一”，但这些捐款只是他实际筹资活动的一部分。
美国司法部指控 SBF 以两名未透露姓名的 FTX 高管的名义以及 FTX 和 Alameda 基金进行匿名捐赠，密谋隐瞒他对共和党候选人的捐款，并与左翼事业保持距离。起诉书称，那些稻草捐赠者甚至不支持或不认识他们捐赠的候选人。
“相反，这些稻草捐款是为了推进 [SBF] 的政治议程，同时为他提供掩护以避免与某些捐款有关，并隐瞒捐款的来源实际上是阿拉米达，”山姆大叔在新的起诉书中说。
据起诉书称，据报道，其中一名 FTX 高管对被用作支持支持 LGBTQ 问题的政治行动委员会的公共捐助者表示不安。据称，一位为 SBF 工作的政治顾问告诉这位高管，“你是我们支出的中左脸，这意味着你为了交易目的而付出了很多醒来的狗屎。”据报道，这位高管在同意 FTX 没有人被认定为 LGBTQ 并且有足够的信任来捐款后做出了这笔捐款。
Bankman-Fried 仍计划于今年 10 月接受审判。
