• Ex-FTX lawyer Daniel Friedberg has agreed to provide confidential information to US prosecutors in the FTX case.
• The Manhattan US Attorney’s Office has created the FTX Task Force to explore the collapse of FTX and seek recovery of assets for victims.
• This puts pressure on FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who is currently under house arrest at his parents‘ home.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is intensifying its investigation into the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX. On January 3, the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office announced the formation of the FTX Task Force, which will focus on exploring the case and seeking recovery of assets for victims. As part of this investigation, the former lawyer of bankrupt FTX, Daniel Friedberg, has agreed to cooperate with US prosecutors and divulge confidential information about the company.

Daniel met with the DOJ on November 22, where he agreed to disclose details of the company to US prosecutors. This has increased the pressure on FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who is currently under house arrest at his parents‘ home. According to Reuters, Daniel provided details of FTX during the meeting, including information about the use of customer funds to finance Bankman-Fried’s businesses.

The US attorney is pursuing a criminal case against Bankman-Fried and the FTX exchange, alleging that Bankman-Fried misappropriated customer funds. Bankman-Fried denies these allegations and has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The FTX Task Force, which is comprised of lawyers and investigators from the DOJ, will look into the FTX case and seek justice for any victims.

The task force will also investigate any potential criminal wrongdoing, including securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. The investigation is still ongoing, but Daniel’s cooperation with US prosecutors could prove to be valuable in uncovering the truth behind the collapse of FTX.

With the help of the FTX Task Force, the US attorney could potentially uncover the criminal activities of Bankman-Fried and the FTX exchange. If found guilty of any charges, Bankman-Fried could face up to 20 years in prison. Meanwhile, the victims of the FTX collapse could potentially receive justice and be compensated for their losses.
