FTX While the legal processes of the incidents continue to come to the fore, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the former CEO of the bankrupt stock market, has confronted the community on the grounds of fraud and abuse. SBF has been placed under house arrest paying a $250 million bail, but the community is uncovering photos of SBF traveling outside.
SBF Couldn’t Evade Community Lens
SBF was spotted in the John F. Kennedy International Airport lounge just three days after he was released on bail.
Community members confirmed that SBF’s location is American Airlines’ Greenwich (Business Class) lounge in Terminal 8. According to the primary source, SBF was accompanied by his family, FBI agents and lawyers.

The footage has reignited debate over the SBF telling Maxine Waters, Chair of the US House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, that although she has access to her laptop and mobile device, she has no access to her personal or professional data.
Some also wondered how SBF was able to afford business class tickets during FTX’s bankruptcy proceedings. A community member said, “Great to see that client funds are still being put to good use!” said.
