The SEC said in a press release that in addition to being charges with fraud regarding equity investors in FTX, he’s also being investigated regarding other securities law violations — and noted that there are ongoing investigations pending against others involved as well. > The SEC isn’t the only one getting a hand on this ball, however: Both the Southern District of New York’s Attorney’s office and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) also filed charges against SBF in “parallel actions.”
