Beneficiaries of 'dirtbag' Sam Bankman-Fried's 'fraudulent,' 'dirty' money should give it back, Pirro says
Fox News
FTX cryptocurrency exchange founder Samuel Bankman-Fried has been under fire since being arrested and imprisoned Nassau, New Providence, The Bahamas.
"This money is fraudulent money. It's dirty money. And it was part of a scheme to defraud," she said. "And then it's the scheme that is bigger than anything I think we've ever seen in this country. So let's not kid each other. The money should be returned," she said. Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Pirro also said a $300 million reported expenditure by SBF in the Bahamas should be accounted for. She appeared to reference a New York Post report that Bankman-Fried "extracted" at least $300 million from FTX before it collapsed. Bankruptcy data reported by the Post and Reuters suggested some of those funds were used to purchase a $16 million vacation home for his parents Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried in New Providence Island's Old Fort Bay community – an exclusive area near Lynden Pindling International Airport that lies far from the bustling and touristy Nassau city center.
