Sam Bankman-Fried’s brother planned to buy island and prep for apocalypse: court filing By Cointelegraph



Gabriel Bankman-Fried, the brother of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, had a plan to survive a global catastrophe using funds from the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange.

According to a July 20 filing with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Gabriel planned to purchase the island nation of Nauru in the Pacific using allegedly misappropriated funds through the FTX Foundation. Projects with the charity “that served little purpose other than to enhance the public stature of Defendants,” according to court documents, included a $300,000 book grant on “humans’ utility function” as well as a $400,000 grant to a YouTuber.
