SBF faces criminal investigation for one of the largest financial frauds in history.
Infamous crypto personality Sam Bankman-Fried has been arrested Monday, December 12, evening local time in the Bahamas.
SBF faces criminal investigation by U.S. and Bahamian authorities following the collapse of FTX last month. The American citizen likely faces extradition back to the USA. SBF had teased the idea of attending a Congression hearing on Tuesday, Dec. 13 to which he was invited.
