Sam Bankman-Fried denies moving Alameda funds in latest tweet

Dec. 30, 2022 at 11:10 pm

By Mike Dalton

Sam Bankman-Fried, founder and former CEO of FTX, returned to Twitter on Dec. 30 after weeks of inactivity coinciding with his arrest.

Bankman-Fried commented on a recent event that saw Alameda-related cryptocurrency addresses move at least $1.7 million of assets. Those funds were transferred to crypto mixers in several batches on Dec. 28.

Bankman-Fried denied that he played any role in this movement, writing:

None of these are me. I’m not and couldn’t be moving any of those funds; I don’t have access to them anymore.

However, he added that it is likely that “various legit legs of FTX” can access those funds and said that he hopes that those entities were behind the movement of funds. He also said that he is “happy to help advise regulators” to investigate the matter.
