The top lieutenants of the FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried owe to the US allegations

US prosecutors have accused two of the closest colleagues of the FTX founder Sam-Bankman Fried in connection with their role in the alleged fraud, who contributed to the collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange.

Caroline Ellison, the former managing director of the trading daughter Alameda Research, and Gary Wang, a co-founder of FTX, both guilty, the US prosecutor said for the southern district of New York late Wednesday.

"Both Ms. Ellison and Mr. Wang guilty have known themselves, and they both cooperate with the southern district of New York," said US lawyer Damian Williams, who had accused of charges against Bankman-Fried last week, in A short video statement on Wednesday.

William's announcement came shortly after an aircraft with Bankman-Fried from the Bahamas, where he waived his right to contest the delivery to the USA. He should appear in front of a court in Manhattan on Thursday morning.

Williams repeated his call to others who had worked with Bankman-Fried to report. "If you were involved in misconduct and FTX or Alameda, it is now time to be one step ahead," he said. "We move quickly and our patience is not forever."

A representative of Sam Bankman-Fried rejected a statement.
