FTX wants to inquire into Sam Bankman-wealth. Fried's family's

publication datereading time1 min read
Lawyers for Sam Bankman-Fried, an accused crypto fraudster, have filed paperwork asking the court to compel his parents and brother to testify about their wealth and any money they may have received from FTX, the insolvent corporation he created.

In an effort to locate hidden assets that may be used to repay creditors owed billions of dollars, FTX requested a judge for permission to examine Bankman-family Fried's and a small number of the company's former senior executives under oath.

The money FTX has filed demonstrates the firm's determination to recoup whatever funds it believes Bankman-Fried has improperly distributed. The company's lobbying and political contributions were extensive. Bankman-Fried has been accused of fraud by federal prosecutors for his part in the demise of FTX, which declared bankruptcy in November.

The court document states that Joseph Bankman and his wife Barbara Fried were involved in their son's business. The court document quotes media sources as saying that Stanford Law School professor Joseph Bankman provided tax guidance to FTX workers and assisted in hiring the company's initial attorneys. The complaint claims that Fried established a political action committee that received money from FTX and its top executives.

According to the petition, which cites news articles, Gabriel Bankman-Fried created a lobbying business that used a multimillion-dollar residence near the US Capitol to lobby members of Congress.

The comment emails sent to Joseph Bankman, Barbara Fried, and Gabriel Bankman-Fried did unanswered for some time.

US Bankruptcy Judge John Dorsey must grant permission for FTX attorneys to serve subpoenas on Bankman-family Fried's members requesting testimony and documentation.
