Prosecutors also now accuse Bankman-Fried of attempting to bribe Chinese officials with $40 million in digital money in 2021 to undo the frozen accounts.

Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas on December 12 by order of the US Department of Justice. FTX had its headquarters there. Before the collapse, FTX was one of the largest trading centers for so-called cryptocurrencies such as the digital money Bitcoin.
