Ahead of Sam Bankman-Fried going on trial next week for allegedly perpetuating one of the biggest financial frauds in U.S. history, his long-esteemed Stanford law professor mother has lashed out at various entities she believes are to blame for her son’s legal troubles, as well as the destruction of her own reputation and that of her husband, Joseph Bankman.

In a lengthy New Yorker profile of Bankman-Fried’s “family bubble,” the emerita professor descried the “McCarthyite” actions of the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the bankruptcy estate of FTX, her son’s failed cryptocurrency empire. She wrote about a “relentless pursuit of total destruction” in an email to New Yorker writer Sheelah Kolhatkar.
