Sam Bankman-Fried denies movement of Alameda funds

 


Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) denies that he recently moved funds from Alameda Research crypto wallets after being released on bail for $250 million a few days ago.


SBF denied on Twitter yesterday, December 30, that it was connected to the current money movements of the Alameda wallets in question. Accordingly, Bankman-Fried writes: "That's not me. I didn't want to and couldn't move this money at all, because I no longer have access to it."



With this, SBF is directly responding to a Cointelegraph story in which we reported that a wallet with address beginning 0x64e9 received more than 600 ETH from a wallet owned by FTX sister company Alameda. As the blockchain data shows, part of the funds were directly converted into USDT, while the rest went to so-called crypto mixers.


The movement of the funds and the way in which they were moved quickly caused irritation in the crypto community and raised suspicions of an insider. For many, it was therefore obvious that SBF was personally behind the transactions.



On-chain analyst BowTiedIguana, considering the overall circumstances, concludes that SBF has liquidated $684,000 in crypto assets through a Seychelles crypto exchange while under house arrest in the US.


On December 29, BowTiedIguana had already drawn attention to the suspicious transactions and linked them to SBF. If these allegations are true despite Bankman-Fried's denials, then he would at least have violated his bail conditions, which stipulate that he may not move more than $1,000 without obtaining court permission.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

El Salvador: Bitcoin bonds are a long time coming

  El Salvador's finance minister believes Bitcoin's continued price volatility means Bitcoin bonds aren't coming anytime soon. Meanwhile, the country faces a human rights crisis. El Salvador Finance Minister Alejandro Zelaya said the country will further delay the launch of its expected billion-USD bitcoin bond, citing price volatility and uncertain market conditions resulting from the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. The news comes at a time when Amnesty International is accusing the Salvadoran authorities of flagrant human rights abuses and criminalizing those living in poverty. In an interview on local news show Frente a Frente, Zelaya was asked if the situation had changed with the planned bitcoin bond. “No, not yet, the [Bitcoin] price continues to be disrupted by the war in Ukraine,” He added that fluctuations are constant in the short term, but always appreciate in value over the long term. “There is a future and an economic innovation [in bitcoin] that we must bet on.” ...
