A court filing made on Monday by FTX says that “Bankman-Fried and [co-founder Gary] Wang were in close and frequent contact with the Commission and Bahamas Attorney General Ryan Pinder throughout the week” of the crypto company’s collapse in early November. The filing by FTX cites an email sent to Pinder in which Bankman-Fried said he would allow Bahamians to withdraw assets.

Ray’s filings “continue to wrongfully confuse” the Bahamas government, Attorney General and court-approved liquidators, the Commission’s media statement said.

“The Securities Commission continues to conduct a comprehensive and diligent investigation into the causes of FTX’s failure,” it added. “Unfortunately, it has been necessary for the Securities Commission to make a request to Mr. Ray’s representatives to not obstruct that investigation. Mr. Ray has not once reached out to the Securities Commission to discuss any of his concerns before airing them publicly.”
