Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, once asserted in an interview that his parents “weren’t involved in any of the relevant parts” of the business.
In a lawsuit filed on Monday, the FTX estate claims otherwise, and pointed to, among other pieces of evidence, the role Bankman-Fried’s father had in allegedly directing at least $5.5 million to Stanford University, where both Allan Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried are professors.
