Monday’s charges includes seven counts of conspiracy and fraud, alleging that Bankman-Fried secretly directed customers’ money from FTX’s sister trading firm, Alameda Research, to company executives’ personal bank accounts where those executives made political contributions in their own names in an effort to “maximize FTX’s political influence.”

Bankman-Fried then “leveraged this influence, in turn, to lobby Congress and regulatory agencies to support legislation and regulation he believed would make it easier for FTX to continue to accept customer deposits and grow,” the indictment alleges.

Prosecutors had previously charged him with campaign finance law violation charges, but dropped those charges after The Bahamas told the U.S. that the charge was not part of the agreement under which the country extradited Bankman-Fried in December—this indictment marks a workaround of that diplomacy issue.
