FTX cofounder Sam Bankman-Fried and five people in his inner circle took more than $3.2 billion from hedge fund Alameda Research and other parts of his crypto empire, according to its new bosses. Former CEO Bankman-Fried and the FTX employees transferred the money to their personal accounts under the label "payments and loans", FTX's new management said in Wednesday filings to bankruptcy court .  Most of the funds came from Alameda, FTX's sister trading arm, and were transferred before the crypto exchange collapsed in November, they said.
