Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried refuses to attend the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services scheduled hearing on December 13. Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters invited SBF to testify before the committee as part of their investigation into the collapse of the cripto-schimb FTX.
SBF Publicly Declines Scheduled U.S. House Hearing
Sam Bankman-Fried in a tweet on December 5 refuses to attend the scheduled U.S. House Committee on Financial Services hearing entitled, “Investigating the Collapse of FTX, Part I.” on December 13. He claims to testify before the committee after he’s finished learning and reviewing what went wrong at FTX.
Responding to Maxine Waters and U.S. House Committee on Financial Services, he said:
„Odată ce am terminat de învățat și de revizuit ceea ce sa întâmplat, aș simți că este de datoria mea să mă prezint în fața comitetului și să explic. Nu sunt sigur că se va întâmpla până pe 13. Dar când se va întâmpla, voi depune mărturie.”
Chairwoman Maxine Waters and Ranking Member Patrick Henry urged Sam Bankman-Fried to testify if he really wants to help the company’s customers, investors, and others. However, SBF publicly denying a scheduled U.S. House hearing has raised questions over his influence in U.S. politics.
Some even questioned why Maxine Waters leads the investigation into FTX collapse despite being well-known about SBF donations to her and other political leaders.
Crypto Twitter Reacts to Sam Bankman-Fried’s Behavior
Jake Chervinsky, șeful de politici la Blockchain Association, pointed out that SBF refuses to testify before Congress because “lying under oath is less appealing.”
Some question the U.S. Congress’ treatment of SBF despite lying to customers and agreeing with his mistakes that led to the collapse of FTX.
Elon Musk also agrees that SBF should not get priority treatment or media attention until his court hearing. He also claimed that SBF has contributed more than $1 billion to support Democrats in elections. However, it is still unclear where the remaining funds went.
