Bahamas Bank is currently facing charges as per the allegations that were recently presented against it. According to a report, the firm was accused of collaborating with Bankman-Fried whereby it offered him a secret credit card that would allow him to buy Tether.
On Friday, the court in Florida received the papers that were filed by the attorneys representing their clients, Bankman-Fried’s victims who are suing Deltec and other alleged accomplices for damages. In the complaint, the lawyers stated that Ellison gave them his assent during settlement talks, and sent them over 7,000 pages of Telegram discussion logs.
An attorney at Deltec at Venable LLP in Chicago, named Desiree Moore, said neither the bank nor Chalopin, the chairman of FTX, knew about the firm’s wrongdoing before the public disclosure.
“The new allegations rely heavily on unsubstantiated statements by individuals who we understand are settling their lawsuits with plaintiffs in exchange for providing the information,” she said.
The lawsuit claims that Bankman-Fried’s firm, Alameda Research, utilized a “secret line of credit” with Deltec Bank worth billions of dollars as a way to fuel the growth of Tether. This indicates that Tether’s growth was fueled by the “borrowed money” in question, hence there is a reason to worry over its stability.
Additionally, this litigation states that Deltec facilitated the misappropriation of FTX customer funds by transferring them to Alameda despite flashing billboards. This non-compliance with regulations may stand out as an issue, and the company might act as an enabler of the worst practices.
