According to court documents in the FTX bankruptcy case, the company’s attorneys seek to subpoena FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried, his brother Gabriel Bankman-Fried, and his parents, Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried. Additionally, the attorneys intend to question some of Bankman-Fried’s top deputies, including FTX co-founder Gary Wang, ex-Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison, the former chief operating officer Constance Wang, and the exchange’s former director of engineering Nishad Singh.<h2 id="header-0">FTX Attorneys Push for Subpoena of Co-Founder, Associates, Parents, and Brother</h2>Lawyers for FTX Trading Ltd. and the <a href="https://restructuring.ra.kroll.com/FTX/Home-DocketInfo" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bankruptcy case</a>‘s official creditors committee filed a motion that aims to question <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/from-a-32-billion-valuation-to-financial-troubles-an-in-depth-look-at-the-rise-and-fall-of-ftx/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF)</a>, his parents, his brother, and a few of the former CEO’s top lieutenants. The lawyers contend that specific insiders associated with Bankman-Fried’s dealings could provide much-needed insight into financial matters.“Certain insiders are currently cooperating with the debtors to provide important information. But others are not, and thus authorization to issue subpoenas to those with the missing information is critical to the debtors’ and committee’s recovery efforts,” the joint motion details.The <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/new-ftx-ceo-discusses-possibility-of-rebooting-defunct-crypto-exchange-in-first-interview-since-taking-over/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">current FTX CEO</a>, John J.

Bankman and Barbara Fried have not been charged with any wrongdoing, but the recent court filing claims they both had associations with the firm. The filing alleges that Fried’s political action committee (PAC) Mind the Gap received funds from FTX. Barbara Fried “has ignored the requests altogether,” the joint motion discloses. Bankman allegedly gave tax advice to staff and was involved in linking FTX with the company’s first litigation firm, the court filing explains.“The insiders are best positioned to assist” the case, FTX attorneys further insist in the latest filing. The document notes that lawyers want to question Gabriel Bankman-Fried, SBF’s brother.
