Bloomberg: The US Department of Justice is investigating the theft of more than $ 370 million from the accounts of the FTX crypto exchange

It is reported by Bloomberg, citing a source.

So far, investigators are considering two main versions: the withdrawal of money could be an “insider” crime, or it was committed by an outside hacker who managed to take advantage of the vulnerabilities of a collapsing company.

It is clarified that this investigation is not related to the fraud case against the founder and former head of FTX, Sam Bankman-Freed.

Earlier it was reported that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed charges against Bankman-Fried.

On December 22, Bankman-Fried flew to the US after agreeing to extradition.
