Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of failed crypto exchange FTX, faces a litany of civil and criminal charges, including conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud.

Following Bankman-Fried’s arrest in the Bahamas on Monday, three U.S. agencies—the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (SDNY)—have all filed charges.
