Accounts linked to FTX and FTX.US were drained of $600 million on Nov. 11, 2022, hours after the crypto exchange had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. At the time, FTX general counsel Ryne Miller informed traders about the hack caused by malware:“FTX has been hacked. Chat is open. Please don’t go to the FTX site, as it might download Trojans. Note that some funds were retrieved.”


After nearly 10 months of silence, the FTX exploiter began siphoning out the stolen funds, starting with a transfer of 10,250 ETH worth $17.1 million via four addresses between Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, confirms data from Spot On Chain.

On the second day of the trial, the Department of Justice and SBF’s defense team provided their statements in front of the jury. While the DOJ continues to focus its arguments on SBF’s alleged role in misleading investors on the platform, the defense argued about Bankman-Fried being a young entrepreneur who made business decisions that “didn’t work out.”
