Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), former CEO of collapsed FTX crypto exchange is maintaining its media presence amid the mounting legal troubles. Earlier, SBF announced that he is willing to testify in front of the key US Senate committee over the FTX crash. Meanwhile, reports suggest that his lawyers have failed to respond to the hearing request.
Will SBF make it to the Committee?
Eleanor Terrett, Journalist at FoxBusiness reported that SBF and his lawyer were unable to reply to the Senate Banking and Housing Democrats committee’s appeal to testify. The hearing was scheduled to happen on the coming Wednesday.
She mentioned that Senator Pat Toomey has committed that the committee will continue to work on appearing before Congress.
Earlier, SBF in a Tweet highlighted that he would feel like appearing before the committee to explain the situation. However, he will be doing this after learning and reviewing what led to this disaster.
As per reports, the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs said that it is important that SBF should provide transparency and accountability to the people.
Senator Brown and Senator Toomey are willing to push a subpoena against Bankman-Fried if he doesn’t choose to appear voluntarily.
