FTX Ex-Engineering Chief Pleads Guilty to Criminal Charges
"Yesterday the news tightened around sand bagman freed even further as yet another of FTX most senior execs turned against him. Former head of engineering at FTX nishad Singh pled guilty to criminal fraud charges and agreed to assist prosecutors in their case against SPF. As part of his agreement, single plead guilty to one count of wire fraud, three counts of conspiracy to commit fraud, what count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, and one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States by violating campaign finance laws for a total of 6 counts. Now in separate civil actions, singers agree not to contest fraud complaints from the SEC and the CFTC. The SEC will be asking for a ban on sing asking as a corporate officer or director, which will be subject to court approval. This is in line with previous plea agreements from other FTX co-conspirators, Carolyn Ellison, and Gary Wong. In a statement sings lawyers said quote, shot is deeply sorry for his role in this and is accepted responsibility for his actions. He wants to do everything he can to make things right for victims, including by assisting the government to the best of his ability in this case. Now, nashad turning on Sam has seemed kind of like a foregone conclusion. Ever since we got that conversation that Sam had with the vox reporter that he thought was off the record where he said that nashad felt really terrible really genuinely terrible about all this, whereas Sam kind of made clear that he didn't. Now Singh was released on a $250,000 bond to await sentencing and his was so much lower than Sam's bond because as prosecutors said, Singh had traveled back from The Bahamas voluntarily in November shortly after the collapse in part to assist with Justice Department investigations.

Caroline Ellison, Gary Wang Plead Guilty to 'Fraud' Charges
"Welcome to the hash on coin desk TV. I'm Zach seward. That's Jensen assy. Will foxley over there. We're going to get you up to speed on all that's going on in the world of crypto, including some major developments in the case against Sam bankman fried Jen, take us there, what's going on? All right, so former Alameda research CEO Caroline Ellison and FTX cofounder Gary Wang have both pled guilty to charges associated with FTX collapse. The SEC and CFTC have also announced charges against the two saying that Allison manipulated the price of the FTT token, U.S. attorney Damian Williams says both are cooperating with investigators, former FTX CEO Sam bankman fried was charged with 8 crimes earlier this month. We've discussed those at length. They include money laundering, wire fraud and securities fraud. He is being extradited from The Bahamas to the U.S. and is in FBI custody. Zach, a lot to unpack here. What do you got? So much to unpack. Kids, if you're ever in a criminal conspiracy involving $10 billion that are vaporized, especially from customers, snitches fast as possible. That's the story here. Everyone associated with FTX and Alameda turned snitch on sandbank and freed. And they're probably going to have a much more comfortable life because of it all their former colleague rots in a prison cell somewhere for a long time. That for me is the takeaway looking at some of this stuff. It's pretty wild. Bank and freed was flown in from Bahamas into the New York area last night. A lot of people were closely watching flight trackers on the Internet to see where he was headed. Apparently he's touched down over in Westchester and is making his first appearance in New York in court today for a presentment that initiates the legal proceedings here in the U.S. after some complicated back and forth over whether or not he was going to make his way over here from The Bahamas. So that's what people are watching. I know coin disc has a reporter on the ground at the courthouse in the southern district of New York. So we're going to watch it, watch that for updates later today. And yeah, I don't know. Caroline and the cofounder, they may have found themselves a pretty sweet deal. I don't know, what do you think? Yeah, I think they found themselves a really good deal, right? But if you look at the charges, they possibly were going to have just think it was like 250 years for Caroline. And it was about 50 years for Gary if they were just charged for what they're doing in the first place. I went to the different administrations, the DoJ, and they're getting off the hook more or less. So Caroline Ellison is looking at getting some fine slapped on her disgorgement for any ill gotten gains and then also she's not going to be able to trade anything on behalf of other people

Is Alameda Ex-CEO Caroline Ellison Cutting a Deal?
"All right, at the top of the web three lightning round this week, we have only one top story. And it's the only top story I think anybody is talking about right now, and that is that SPF, Sam bankman fried has officially been arrested and officially charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, and money laundering by the U.S. Justice Department and securities violations by the SEC. Now, it doesn't stop there, folks. It's a lot more fun. But on the surface here, rich, what do you think of the story? Because it happened very, very fast. It happened very quickly. And one, this needed to happen. I didn't believe it was going to happen at first. But someone mentioned something a couple of days ago before this happened. And it made me go, huh. That was a good point. A couple of weeks back if you've been listening to our aftershocks, we covered, we spoke on, I believe, how the head person Caroline over Alameda was spotted in New York and we're like, what's happening? Because she fled from Hong Kong to Dubai because there's no jurisdiction. Well, she showed up in New York and there was a picture like a Starbucks or something and was verified it was her and were like, that's dumb, why would she be in the states? Well, we figured it out. She got a deal. She was cutting a deal and she was doing everything possible. Probably to get Sam behind bars. And so here we are, full circle. And I know we were both pessimistic about Sam being put in jail, but he is potentially serving up to a 115 years. So good luck. Yeah, good luck indeed. I do want to make sure that I make it known. The statement about Alison making a deal is not entirely corroborated at this point, but it's safe to assume that if she's back in the states, that's why she would be back in the states. So just want to make sure that part of it is out there for people. But there have been a couple other trickle down details that have come out since.

The Chopping Block: Was FTX a Scam From the Very Beginning?
"Okay, so the FTX story is the gift that keeps giving. Unfortunately, we can not stop talking about it. We really wanted to. We were still looking forward to this story just slowing down. And people were speculating that it was going to be months until Sam was charged. It's very common in investigations of this kind of this sweeping Ness that they take a long time before any charges are filed because everybody's got to get their case in order before they actually filed hers. This has been incredibly fast. So basically yesterday, it was finally announced that Sam was arrested in The Bahamas, and we had actually believed his Monday night that he was arrested. And then file charges were unsealed. First by the southern district attorney of New York for wire fraud and a bunch of other stuff campaign financing laws and a bunch of other stuff that they charged them with, as well as complaints, civil suits from the CFTC and the SEC. And so the southern district of New York didn't give a whole lot of details. That was pretty sparse. But the CFTC complaint in the SEC complaint have an enormous amount of detail
The Breakdown
"wire fraud" Discussed on The Breakdown
"Hedera and goes by la toshi on Twitter, wrote, the allegations in the SEC complaint against SPF are shocking. It's now plain that in the months since taking over as CEO, John ray has been working closely with many federal authorities. Now, a few of the things that are pointed out from the SEC complaint. The first is that customer deposits were controlled by Alameda from the outset. The complaint writes, free diverted FTX customer funds to Alameda and essentially two ways. One by directing FTX customers to deposit Fiat currency into bank accounts controlled by Alameda and two by enabling Alameda to draw down from a virtually limitless line of credit at FTX, which was funded by FTX customer assets. As a result, there was no meaningful distinction between FTX customer funds and Alameda's own funds. Bagman freed thus gave Alameda carte blanche to use FTX customer assets for its own trading operations and for whatever other purposes bankman fried saw fit. In essence, bankman fried plays billions of dollars of FTX customer funds into Alameda. He then used Alameda as his personal piggy bank to buy luxury condominiums, support political campaigns and make private investments among other uses. None of this was disclosed to FTX equity investors or the platform's trading customers. Next la toshi writes it wasn't until 2022 that Alameda began a belated attempt to separate FTX customer money from its own. That attempt failed because it meant Alameda would have to pay interest on its quote unquote loan. SPF directed the account to be changed, causing further accounting chaos. The SEC complaint writes, in 2022, FTX began trying to separate Alameda's portion of the liability in the Fiat at FTX dot com account from the portion that was attributable to FTX. IE to separate out customer deposits sent to Alameda controlled bank accounts from deposits sent to FTX controlled bank accounts. Alameda's portion, which accounted for more than 8 billion in FTX customer assets that had been deposited into Alameda controlled bank accounts, was initially moved to a different account in the FTX database. However, because this change caused FTX internal systems to automatically charge Alameda interest on the more than $8 billion liability, bankman free directed that the Alameda liability be moved to an account that would not be charged interest. This account was associated with an individual that had no apparent connection to Alameda. As a result, this change had the effect of further concealing Alameda's liability and FTX internal systems. Next on the hit list Alameda had an effectively unlimited line of credit. From the complaint again. On multiple occasions, bankman free directed FTX to increase the amount by which Alameda could maintain a negative balance in its account. In effect, this gave an unofficial line of credit to Alameda since Alameda was able to draw down on its FTX customer account and use those funds, which were actually the funds deposited by other FTX customers for its own trading. At freed's direction, Alameda's line of credit was continually raised to the point where it grew to tens of billions of dollars and effectively became limitless. No other FTX customer had a similar line of credit. Now you'll note here that Sam seems awfully in charge and indeed, this basically says that he never stopped being CEO even when he was technically no longer CEO of Alameda. Now one thing that people were worried about when we found out last night that the SEC was also filing a complaint was that they were going to sneak some securities designation onto tokens in through this action. Ryan sulcus of Messi wrote last night, the SEC is going to try to sneak in tokens or securities related precedents to the FTX charges tomorrow so that the industry is forced to file amicus briefs in support of FTX, who we all despise as frauds and sellouts. Luckily that didn't actually happen. The security in question for the SEC was FTX equity itself. The complaint makes it clear throughout that the fraudulent terms of service, which said that customer funds weren't commingled or lent out, were used as part of the pitch to secure investors. He also told investors that FTX had no exposure to FTT at all from the complaint. In late summer 2021, bang min free told the potential U.S. investor and FTX series B fundraising round that FTX did not hold FTT and consequently the investor would not have any exposure to FTT. The investor ultimately invested $30 million. Lastly, and probably most disgustingly to me. Was Sam's use of customer funds for political donations, luxury real estate and the like. From the complaint. The FTX funds transfer to Alameda were used not only for Alameda's proprietary trading, but also to fund loans to FTX executives, including bankman freed himself, and to fund personal real estate purchases. Between March 2020 and September 2022, bankman fried executed promissory notes for loans from Alameda totalling more than $1.338 billion, including two instances in which banks and freed was both the borrower in his individual capacity and the lender in his capacity as CEO of Alameda. Beckmann fried also used commingled funds from Alameda to make large political donations and to purchase tens of millions of dollars in bahamian real estate for himself, his parents and other FTX executives. Nishat Singh and Gary Wang also borrowed $554 million and $224.7 million respectively by executing promissory notes with Alameda in 2021 and 2022. Like I said, this is one of the hardest ones for me to stomach with all of the bull. I'm going to give it all away act. And what the hell did Nisha need $554 million for? It's just absolutely preposterous. And by the way, this behavior didn't stop. Even after Luna and three AC in July, Sam loaned himself another $136 million. So that was the SEC and the CFTC also wanted to get in on the action. A few more things from that complaint. One that made it even clearer than the SEC complaint about just how involved Sam was. Quote, even after stepping down a CEO of Alameda, bankman fried continued to main control over Alameda. For example, magma freed remained a signatory on Alameda research's bank accounts and an authorized trader for Alameda's accounts with CFTC registered futures commission merchants. Bankman fried also maintained direct decision making authority over all of Alameda's major trading investment and financial decisions. This authority was exercised at least in part through bankman freed's regular, often daily participation in various in person and mobile chat communications with senior personnel at Alameda. Next, like the SEC complaint, there is some good news for folks out there who thought that the CFTC might use this for sneaky rulemaking. Instead, the complaint calls Bitcoin ether and tether digital commodities. Next, the CFTC complaints reinforces how as meat TC on Twitter put it, quote, it was the exception not the rule to actually move funds from Alameda accounts to FTX exchange accounts. And in fact, even after FTX got its own banking in 2020, it never moved funds over. The CFTC complaint also calls out what everyone had suspected in terms of the acquisition strategy pursued this summer. That it was not to save the rest of the industry, but in fact, to cover FTX holes. From the complaint, bagman freed stated privately that he was pursuing an aggressive acquisition strategy during this time, at least in part to gain access to additional sources of capital that could be used to support his existing businesses and fill the hole in customer funds that had been created. Now I think the biggest thing that stands out from this one is the contrast between the way that Sam has tried to say that he really wasn't involved in what was going on in Alameda. Compared to how involved he actually was. In fact, he was so involved that in September he proposed shutting Alameda down. From the complaint. Bagman freed went on to lay out a number of reasons for the suggestions shut down Alameda, including the fact that we didn't hedge as much as we should have alone, cost us more and expected value than all the money Alameda has ever made or ever will make. In the current environment, capital is really expensive and Alameda doesn't justify it. And, quote, Alameda is making some money trading, but not enough to justify its existence. These admissions were directly contrary to contemporaneous public statements that bankman freed in Alameda were making regarding Alameda's profitability. Now here's one more really juicy nugget, especially in light of Sam talking about how solvent FTX was, something he's brought up in numerous interviews. As everything was going down in that early part of November, he directed Alameda to send a $185 million to FTX U.S.. From the complaint honor about November 7th, FTX executives were also asked to evaluate the solvency of FTX U.S.. The FTX executives ultimately identified a shortfall. They did not understand and were unable to quantify on FTX U.S.. Bagman freed quickly indicated that he would fill the hole at FTX U.S. from liquidation of Alameda assets. On November 8th bankman free directed Alameda traders to prioritize, meeting U.S. capitol requirements and to send excess capital to FTX U.S.. Alameda sent an excess of a 185 million to FTX U.S. to fill its shortfall. A last note is that these complaints make it clear that all this fraudulent behavior was right there from the very beginning. It wasn't some 2022 desperation thing it was just how Sam ran everything. Which of course makes more sense in light of other revelations like the loans to block CEO
The Breakdown
It Finally Happened: Sam Bankman-Fried Was Arrested
"All right, friends will last night 31 days after putting the company into bankruptcy, 40 days after coin desk published Alameda's balance sheet, it finally happened. Sam bankman freed was arrested in The Bahamas. Now until the news broke, everyone had been gearing up for today's house hearing. Remember, Sam was due to testify after John J ray. Who is of course the new CEO of FTX overseeing the bankruptcy? As it always is, John ray's advanced testimony was published and good God was its savage. In it he repeats a line that he said frequently. Never in my career have I seen such an utter failure of corporate controls at every level of an organization, although our investigation is ongoing in detailed findings will have to await its conclusion, the FTX group's collapse appears to stem from the absolute concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of grossly inexperienced and unsophisticated individuals who fail to implement virtually any of the systems or controls that are necessary for a company that is entrusted with other people's money or assets. Ray goes on to identify some of what he calls the unacceptable management practices, including quote the use of computer infrastructure that gave individuals and senior management access to systems that stored customer assets without security controls to prevent them from redirecting those assets. The storing of certain private keyed sacks has hundreds of millions of dollars in crypto assets without effective security controls or encryption. The ability of Alameda, the crypto hedge fund within the FTX group to borrow funds held at FTX dot com to be utilized for its own trading or investments without any effective limits. The commingling of assets, the lack of complete documentation for transactions, involving nearly 500 investments made with FTX group funds and assets. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Now, one of the big things that people honed in on came a little later when he wrote, questions have been raised as to why all of the FTX group companies were included in the chapter 11 filing, particularly FTX U.S.. The answer is because FTX two S was not operated independently of FTX dot com. Chapter 11 protection was necessary both to avoid a run on the bank at FTX U.S. and to allow our team to identify and protect its assets.

"After county DA response to the Mark Levin show. Wait a minute. I'm Mark Levin. Jesse's great. He's hilarious. All right, better kill it. People could. Why don't you have nothing to talk about? Taking it easy. No, I like music. It's okay, relax. Everything's cool. You have a hair of Andrew gillum Andrew gillum almost became the governor of Florida. He was the Democrat nominee, supported by the Democrats. They love this guy. They love them. But desantis speed them. If Trump endorsed the santas no question, the Santa's ran a brilliant campaign. Gillum lost barely. Barely. He was almost the governor of Florida, now soon after his loss, he was found in a hotel room with another guy. He would later come out and say bye, so I'm sure the LGBTQI. Community was glad that he came out, I suppose. I don't know. And also he was using drugs. Now it turns out he's charged with 21 counts of federal indictment. Today, Andrew gillum, the once rising Florida Democrat star. Right NBC News Mark caputo. Was hit with a 21 count federal indictment for wire fraud related conspiracy charges in making false statements. Kill him the former tau hassi mayor was charged along with his mentor Sharon leptin hicks. For fraudulently fundraising from various entities between 2016 to 2019 according to the Department of Justice press release. Now you know this really had to be bad or the Department of Justice this one. AKA the department of injustice would not have brought these charges. Against one of their own Democrats, no. Chest department said the two allegedly diverted some of the money to a company controlled by letman hicks who fraudulently disguised the funds as payroll payments to Gilliam. In a written statement, Gilliam and his lawyers proclaimed his innocence. Wait a minute. What's wrong with this, mister badus? What's wrong with this America? You mean gillum has representation and actually could speak out? This seems to be a new approach to getting to the truth. Doesn't it rich? I'm perplexed ladies and gentlemen. I thought the entire narrative would come from the department of injustice. What they would have a conga line of charges a conga line of witnesses, a conga line of supposed facts, and that's that. That's that. But apparently not apparently not. And written statement Gollum and his lawyers proclaimed his innocence, leptin hicks, a candidate for a state House seat is not returned text or calls from NBC News requesting comment. Well, what is hicks supposed to say NBC News? I've spent the last 20 years of my life in public service and continue to fight for the people. Oh, don't think all on the left. Every campaign I've run has been done with integrity, make no mistake that this case is not legal. It is political. Throughout my career, I've always stood for the people of Florida and have spoken truth to power. There's been a target on my back ever since I was the mayor of Tallahassee. They found nothing then, and I have full confidence that my legal team will prove my innocence now. The indictment marks a new low for Gilliam a married father of three who withdrew from public life as a political leader and he paid CNN commentator CNN knows how to pick him, doesn't it? Between this guy and Jeffrey toobin and so forth. After a March 2020 sex scandal involving a suspected mail over those victims in south beach, hotel. Which does bring to my mister, but whatever happened to this budding sex scandal at media matters. Did you know Mark Elias is their lawyer? But don't worry, they're not a Democrat party operation over there at media matters, are they? No, can't be. There are 501c3 tax exempt, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization. Which is why the number one Democrat party, slip and fall, hitman lawyer, is their lawyer obviously. But the ones whose guide Johnson, that's his name, Johnson. Don't look at me. Just in this supposed sex scan scandal, Johnson had posted some things that he since took down because he was threatened by the Democrat party lawyer, Elias, who's also the media matters lawyer. Cease and desist right now, I insist on it. Cease and desist. So this budding sex scandal, whatever it is. Has been hidden, and you'll remember the president and CEO of media matters. What is that guy's name again? What is his name, rich? South Angelo puts a Rama. What is his name? Caruso, something like that. Carson, Angela Carson. Daily caller did a little digging, not too far back. Fennel kinds of anti semitic and bigoted posts. Next thing you know he'll be a prime time TV. Host on an MSNBC, maybe he'll follow joy Reid. Same thing with her. So that's the sleazy operation. At the den of sleaze balls it is media matters. Why the IRS doesn't really yank their ticket. And do a serious investigation reveal what they've been doing with their tax exempt dollars. I don't know. But let's get back to the main story here. Two sources with whom Gilliam spoke to as they told NBC News that he began phoning French frantically about the criminal case when he was informed that his indictment was imminent. Neither would speak on the record because they weren't authorized to speak on his behalf. These are friends of his?

Childhood tend to church regularly in looking back. I had very ideally laugh. And how did you find your way into the field of education at which you excel right becoming ultimately a really loved and revered educator in clifton texas the principal school but how did you make your decision to get into. Education always lacked school but at our church. I started playing the piano fulltime when i was thirteen. And our church and our song leader was my principal at school and ahead tremendous respect for him and i guess you could say that. He is instrumental in guiding in that direction. So i've always lived and breathed in education making are unfortunate enough not to be able to have children with both education. I helped her with their lesson. Plans with writing papers We would discuss tasting objectives. Goes and how to rates them than it was. It sounds like it is and from what i understand.

And the two of you are obviously well known in the small town of clifton having had a hand in the education of so many of the people there so your shared that occasion had made you to revered by parents and students alike which brings me back to my point that if a beloved figure like yourself who was leading an upstanding life if this can happen to you then nobody out. There is safe because it can happen to anyone. And that brings me to the next part of your story which courses october fourteenth nineteen eighty five. Now you're out of town at an annual texas secondary schools principals conference with a hundred and twenty miles away in austin taxes and this is a conference to intended for the previous fourteen years. Mickey had seen her parents. Otis and vera blue that afternoon as well spoken to you as you graded papers watched the cma's in your hotel room. The country music awards in austin around nine pm that night so now the following day. October fifteenth nineteen eighty-five. Mickey who was usually the first one to arrive at school never did the elementary school principal rex. Daniels was obviously concerned.

Her daughter's body nikki's body laid across the length of the bed. Her nightgown was drawn up to her thighs. Undressed from the waist. Down and blood was spattered on the bed the ceiling and all four walls from apparent gunshots to the head and abdomen and at this point lead the blues of severe to the living room where they called the police and then of course joe you received that awful awful news so gel is alerted to the discovery of her body and to what happened to her while he is in austin several friends from clifton drive down to get him because of the distraught state he was in and drive him back to clifton so the texas rangers lead this investigation as they often did in rural towns like clifton and texas ranger joe wylie interviewed you joe and you answered all the questions telling them about the three fifty seven loaded with birdshot that you kept in the bedroom as well as a cache box under the bed that usually held around a thousand dollars. Both of them were reported missing at the time. As we're mickey's watch wedding band and diamond ring. There were no witnesses. No neighbors reported hearing anything no obvious. Signs of forced entry. No bloody fingerprints no seem inbound the rate get so. There was very little for the rangers to go on oddly. A cigarette though was found on the kitchen floor.

Charlie's possession of flashlight with reddish brown specks was allegedly spontaneously found in the trunk of the car and so does car is out of his possession for a period of about five days and then the flashlight and discovered when the car is in joe's brother-in-law's possession so the tipping point for and really the only point that supported jo's arrest was the discovery of the flashlight in his car and later. Dna testing cast doubt on whether this flashlight was ever even at the crime scene at all but nevertheless unbeknownst to joe at the time a search warrant of the car was executed and the flashlight was sent to the state crime lab. Now this was nineteen eighty five so there was no dna testing just serology and the testing done at the time determined that some of the specs actually were blood.
