<p>In detail, Ellison reveals that SBF set up systems that allowed the embezzlement of about $14 billion from FTX customers. Specifically, she states, “Alameda took several billion dollars from FTX customers and used it for investments”, further mentioning that she manipulated balance sheets to downplay the risks.</p>
<p>Ellison’s partnership with SBF, characterized by both personal and professional aspects, raised concerns as their involvement was seen as a contributing factor to the trading platform’s demise. Despite her role in FTX’s issues, <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-alameda-ceo-caroline-ftx-co-founder-plead-guilty-cftc-sec-charges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ellison has pleaded guilty</a> to the charges and is expected to receive a lighter sentence for her cooperation with the government.</p>
<p>SBF’s legal troubles continue as many witnesses testify against him. Although the trial doesn’t seem to favor him, his lawyers may have the opportunity to cross-examine some witnesses, with Gary Wang’s official court filing already submitted.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-will-sbf-finally-be-brought-to-justice"><strong>Will SBF Finally be Brought to Justice?</strong></h3>
<p>The fall of FTX along with the collapse of Terra LUNA were arguably the two biggest incidents that triggered crypto winter. Not only did these events land a huge hit, but they also prolonged what is likely the longer crypto winter so far.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many in the crypto industry have expressed their distaste for both SBF and Do Kwon. In fact, some members of the community voiced that they’d like to <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/community-wants-do-kwon-in-the-same-cell-with-sbf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">see the both of them in the same prison cell</a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So far, SBF has escaped many fraudulent activities due to privilege brought by his wealth and lineage. Many <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/cardano-ceo-appalled-at-sbfs-soft-treatment-amid-mounting-evidence-of-fraud/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto leaders have called out this unfairness</a> and are hoping to see SBF finally brought to justice.</p>
