FTX Founder's Parents Accused of Misappropriating Company Funds
FTX, the crypto exchange, is suing the parents of founder Sam Bankman Fried, accusing them of fraudulently transferring and misappropriating millions of dollars of company funds. The funds were allegedly used for personal gain, including buying gifts and going on expensive trips. The lawsuit adds another layer of controversy to FTX, which collapsed last year.
