In his 20s, Sam Bankman-Fried achieved international fame as the head of FTX, a crypto company which promised to bring a measure of legitimacy to an industry sometimes associated with money laundering and corruption. He shared a stage with Bill Clinton and Tony Blair; made the covers of Fortune and Forbes; and stood out from other young billionaires for his commitment to the effective-altruism movement, becoming one of the biggest personal donors in American electoral politics. Now, following the collapse of FTX, Bankman-Fried faces life in prison for orchestrating one of the largest financial frauds in U.S. history. “I’m trying not to freak out too much,” he told Sheelah Kolhatkar.

Bankman-Fried’s trial is scheduled to begin in New York in early October, and until recently he was preparing for it while under house arrest in his childhood home—a one-story bungalow on the Stanford campus where his parents, Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, have lived since the ’90s. When Kolhatkar visited the family there earlier this year, Bankman and Fried were taking care of their son and working to bolster his spirits while they, too, grappled with their new reality. Popular faculty members at Stanford Law School, Bankman and Fried specialized in social fairness and legal ethics, and encouraged their children’s philanthropic ventures. His father served as an important advisor to Bankman-Fried while he built his multi-billion dollar business, and both parents enjoyed substantial rewards in the process—including funding for charitable projects, a $10-million gift, and a $16.4-million beach house in the Bahamas. A recent lawsuit filed by FTX’s bankruptcy estate alleges that some of these transactions were not above board. “I don’t care what is said about me, Joe doesn’t care what is said about him,” Fried told Kolhatkar. “Saving Sam is the major project of our lives.” At the link in our bio, read Kolkatkar’s report from inside Sam Bankman-Fried’s family circle.
