DEVELOPING: Sam Bankman-Fried to Enter Plea Deal in FTX Ponzi Scheme Case

Sam Bankman-Fried is expected to enter a plea deal next week in the FTX Ponzi scheme case.

Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried’s case was assigned to Bill Clinton-appointed District Judge Lewis Kaplan.

TGP reported that after allowing SBF to return home to his parents’ house before Christmas that the judge who set him free next recused herself from the case because of her husband’s conflicts.

This is good news for Sam Bankman-Fried.

Judge Kaplan is part of the Deep State Democrat gang.

Judge Kaplan has allowed E. Jean Carroll to sue President Trump for alleged rape. A Case President Trump has adamantly denied.

Reuters reported:

Sam Bankman-Fried is expected to enter a plea next week to criminal charges he defrauded investors and looted billions of dollars in customer funds at his failed FTX cryptocurrency exchange.

The 30-year-old is expected to be arraigned on the afternoon of Jan. 3, 2023, before U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan federal court, court records on Wednesday showed.

Kaplan was assigned to the case on Tuesday, after the original judge recused herself because her husband’s law firm had advised FTX before its collapse.

Prosecutors have accused Bankman-Fried of engaging in a years-long “fraud of epic proportions,” by using customer deposits to support his Alameda Research hedge fund firm, buy real estate and make political contributions.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison, Alameda CEO, pleaded guilty to charges of fraud and conspiracy last week.

Gov. Abbott Calls on AG Paxton to Investigate Atmos Energy’s Failure to Deliver Natural Gas to Texans During Last Week’s Polar Vortex

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) on Wednesday called on Attorney General Ken Paxton to investigate Atmos Energy’s failure to prepare for last week’s Polar Vortex.

A powerful Arctic blast caused temperatures in Texas to dip below zero over the Christmas holiday weekend.

Abbott said Atmos Energy failed to deliver natural gas to North and Central Texas.

“Leading up to, and during the winter event, State of Texas agencies worked around the clock to mobilize resources and assist utilities in any way possible,” Abbott said in one of the letters.

“At no time did Atmos Energy request assistance. Atmos’ conduct is unacceptable and concrete action must be taken… to ensure it is not repeated the next time that winter weather engulfs our state. It is for these reasons I request [your agency] to investigate Atmos Energy. Because we are just beginning winter, and because customers of Atmos deserve to have reliable natural gas service during this winter, there is an urgency to have [your agency’s] investigation concluded in a matter of weeks,” Abbott said.

“I’m calling on the Texas Attorney General and Railroad Commission of Texas to investigate Atmos Energy’s failure to deliver natural gas to Texans in north & central Texas during last week’s winter weather event.” Abbott said.

“Texans must have reliable natural gas service this winter,” he added
