He earlier pleaded not guilty to eight initial allegations of the same nature.Ellison, Wang, and Singh have pled guilty to allegations similar to those made against Bankman-Fried and are cooperating with federal prosecutors&#39; investigations. The first recorded instance of an executive from FTX or Alameda supporting authorities occurred when Salame alerted Bahamian regulators to the probable fraud at FTX, prompting the exchange to close two days later on November 11.
