The collapse of FTX, a Bahamas-based cryptocurrency exchange, has been described by federal prosecutors as “one of the biggest financial frauds in American history”. In November 2023, Sam Bankman-Fried, chief executive of FTX, was convicted of defrauding customers and lenders of Alameda Research, a trading firm affiliated with FTX. His swift conviction was largely attributed to the cooperation of key co-conspirators, who received either significantly reduced sentences or avoided incarceration altogether. FTX serves as a powerful example of how cooperation can shape enforcement investigations.
