FTX's former top lawyer cooperated with the US in Sam Bankman-Fried case

Daniel Friedberg, controversial lawyer who served as top compliance chief at now-defunkt exchange FTX, has reportedly cooperated with United States’ prosecutors investigating FTX collapse.

Friedberg provided details about FTX in a meeting with two dozen investigators hold by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York’s (SDNY) office on Nov. 22, Reuters

As previously reported, Bankman-Fried on Jan. 3 pled not guilty to all criminal charges related to the FTX collapse, including wire fraud, securities fraud and violations of campaign finance laws. Previously, FTX co-founder Gary Wang and former Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges in December. Both are now cooperating with SDNY and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s investigation into Bankman-Fried.
