FTX co-founder Gary Wang revealed details of Alameda Research's corrupt relationship with his exchange during Sam Bankman-Fried's fraud trial. Wang claims that the feature allowing Alameda to steal customer funds was built into FTX's computer systems as early as 2019. Alameda received three special privileges on FTX, including the ability to trade more than its account funds and use a $65 billion line of credit. Wang confirmed that additional funds were withdrawn from the accounts of FTX clients who did not expressly consent to the loans.
