NEW YORK — FTX founder Sam-Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty in the multibillion-dollar fraud case against him in Manhattan federal court on Tuesday.
The 30-year-old entered a plea of not guilty to two counts of wire fraud and six counts of conspiracy, including conspiring to launder money and violating campaign finance laws.
Bankman-Fried is accused of steering billions of dollars that flowed through his cryptocurrency exchange platform, FTX, where users could trade currencies, to his crypto trading firm, Alameda Research.
