The Motion to Dismiss: Sam Bankman-Fried’s Parents Respond to Lawsuit
The parents of former FTX CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, have filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit accusing them of exploiting their access and influence within the now-bankrupt crypto exchange. The lawsuit, filed by the FTX estate, claims that Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried transferred and misappropriated funds from the exchange.
The couple argues in their filing that the lawsuit is based on the fact that their son was involved with FTX and does not provide substantial evidence of wrongdoing. They point out that the alleged transactions occurred when FTX was still solvent and successful. Additionally, they claim that they never used the luxury property in The Bahamas as their primary residence.
