Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of bankrupt crypto platform FTX, said on Dec. 4 that he “will testify” before Congress on the circumstances around the collapse, though his statement left open the possibility that it could be a while before he actually appears before lawmakers—if ever.
Bankman-Fried made the remarks in a response to a Twitter post by House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), who invited the former tech CEO to appear before the committee’s upcoming meeting on Dec. 13.
