To hear Sam Bankman-Fried tell it, he didn't have much of an idea of how his now-bankrupt companies—exchange FTX and trading firm Alameda Research—were being run. The internal dashboards displayed wrong information. He wasn't consulted on trading decisions. He didn't, and doesn't, have the details, though he also believes that he didn’t do anything criminal. “I didn’t ever try to commit fraud to anyone,” he said Wednesday.

Bankman-Fried’s appearance at The New York Times' Dealbook conference had been hotly anticipated. While the former FTX CEO had already taken the unusual steps of speaking on the record to the Times, Vox, and even YouTube personalities in the weeks after his company’s sudden implosion, his willingness to be interviewed on camera at a major news conference the day before a Senate hearing on FTX’s collapse was seen by many onlookers as highly irregular.
