Misuse of Customer Funds
Alameda Research, a crypto trading firm affiliated with FTX, reportedly used customer funds from FTX to meet its liabilities. Caroline Ellison, CEO of Alameda Research, revealed in a video meeting that she, along with FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and other executives, was aware of the decision to transfer billions in customer funds to Alameda.
Leadership Knowledge and Bankruptcy Filing
Ellison confirmed that she, Bankman-Fried, and two other executives, Nishad Singh and Gary Wang, knew about the funds being moved. This revelation came as FTX filed for U.S. bankruptcy protection and Bankman-Fried resigned as CEO. Both FTX and Alameda Research have yet to respond to requests for comment.

The misuse of customer funds has led to significant financial and reputational damage for both FTX and Alameda Research. The crisis highlights concerns about transparency and accountability in the crypto industry, raising questions about how customer assets are managed and protected.
