Sam Bankman-Fried claims ‘I didn’t steal funds’ in first response to FTX case

Disgraced cryptocurrency boss says FTX customers could get their money back in statement published on Substack

I didn't steal funds, and I certainly didn't stash billions away," the disgraced cryptocurrency boss Sam Bankman-Fried claimed on Thursday in his first detailed response to the criminal charges filed against him last month.

In a statement titled FTX Pre-Mortem Overview and published on Substack, Bankman-Fried said that millions of customers of FTX, his bankrupt exchange, could get their money back and that very substantial recovery remains potentially available".
