Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) on Monday asked a U.S. judge to dismiss criminal charges brought against him by the country’s prosecutors over the collapse of the now-bankrupt FTX. In a filing in Manhattan federal court, attorneys for SBF said several of the charges failed to properly state criminal conduct.
Prosecutors have until May 29 to respond to Bankman-Fried's motion to dismiss, and U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan will hear arguments on June 15.
