7. US Department of Justice: SBF should be prohibited from mentioning Anthropic’s recent financing in its defense
ChainCatcher reported that according to CoinDesk, the U.S. Department of Justice stated that FTX founder SBF should be prohibited from mentioning the recent fundraising activities of artificial intelligence company Anthropic in his own defense.
The Justice Department has been discussing possible issues to be raised in SBF’s trial, and the two sides have “reached an agreement” on many issues, but remain divided over whether the defense team can raise questions related to Anthropic’s fundraising. The Justice Department claims that the $500 million investment in Anthropic in 2022 came from customer funds.
“The indictment alleges that SBF committed fraud by misappropriating FTX customer deposits for investments and other expenses. It was irrelevant whether certain investments might ultimately be profitable or not,” the Justice Department document said.
Anthropic has reached a deal with Amazon worth up to $4 billion and is in talks to raise $2 billion in funding, Bloomberg reported last week. (Source link)
