The document details other lavish purchases, including multimillion-dollar real estate in the names of insiders like former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison.

Bankman-Fried has pleaded not guilty to criminal fraud charges related to the alleged misuse of FTX customer deposits. Former FTX senior members Gary Wang, Ellison, and Singh reportedly have agreed to plea deals with U.S. law enforcement. Former FTX co-CEO Ryan Salame intends to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights and has reportedly declared himself “unavailable as a witness.”

Reports say Samuel Trabucco was last seen in the Bahamas in the spring of 2022, visited by former MIT classmates. He also traveled to Las Vegas in July of that year for MIT’s Mega-Pi reunion. These are the last known public sightings of Trabucco, and his current location is unknown. The crypto community has been speculating about Trabucco’s activities since FTX’s collapse. Trabucco’s 52-foot yacht called “Soak my Deck,” was first reported back in December 2022 in an editorial published by the Financial Times.
