The efforts made by the crypto community to support investigators and find the whereabouts of the notorious businessman led to the brief arrest of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). SBF was eventually able to avoid jail time thanks to a $250 million bail bond, but the public is still kept up to date on all of his whereabouts.
SBF was allegedly photographed “chilling” in a lounge at John F. Kennedy International Airport just three days after being freed on a personal recognizance bond, according to a member of the cryptocurrency community. On the supplemental pictures, which were posted on Twitter by @litcapital, SBF is shown relaxing in a chair while using a laptop and a phone.
The photographs sparked further discussions about how SBF, despite having access to his laptop and mobile device, informed Maxine Waters, chair of the US House Financial Services Committee, that he had no access to his personal or business data.Others questioned how SBF was able to buy the business-class tickets given that FTX was in the process of filing for bankruptcy. A member of the community said, “Great to see customer funds are still being used for good!”
