NEW YORK — Sam Bankman-Fried, the former chief executive officer of the failed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, says he did not “knowingly” misuse customers’ funds and that he believes his millions of angry customers eventually will be made whole.
“I didn’t ever want to commit fraud on anyone. I was shocked at what happened this month,” Bankman-Fried said Wednesday during a video interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin at a conference put on by The New York Times.
