Recipients of a 16 million dollar gift house maintain their son is not a financial fraudster [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2023-09-26

The parents of Samuel Bankman-Fried will defend their son at the expense of their reputations; saving him from justice is their only mission in life. Bankman-Fried's mother has said that the accused fraudster, held in jail for witness tampering, will "never speak an untruth," immediately calling her judgment regarding her son and into question. The Bankman-Fried's received cash, and real estate from their son during his term as CEO of FTX, a crypto exchange wherein he is alleged to have fraudulently misused billions in investor dollars. Apparently, his parents still feel they are entitled to their enrichment.

Bankman-Fried is also trying to get out of jail, once again, but his witness tampering seems to have cost him any leeway with the Judge. Throughout the entire process of Bankman-Fried bankrupting FTX and getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar, the former CEO has maintained his innocence in a smarmy way that doesn't suggest he has any regrets.
