Infamous crypto personality Sam Bankman-Fried has been arrested Monday, December 12, evening local time in the Bahamas.

Attorney Damian Williams for the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York confirmed the request and SBF’s arrest in a public statement on Monday as well.
SBF’s potential charges include wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy, securities fraud, securities fraud conspiracy, and money laundering. He hopefully will be face life in prison.
The SDNY Attorney’s Office expects to unseal the indictment documents around 10:00EM EST Tuesday morning - 15:00 UTC.
