US Judge Halts CFTC and SEC Lawsuits Against SBF Until After Criminal Trial

United States District Judge Kevin Castel has approved the Justice Department’s request to stay the civil lawsuits filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) against Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder and former CEO of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX.

According to a Reuters report, prosecutors believe delaying the lawsuits makes sense as the criminal case’s outcome could affect the civil cases.

A stay is an order by a court to temporarily or indefinitely stop legal proceedings or the trial of a case. The court may lift the stay order at a time deemed fit to continue the litigation.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.

  • Crypto Industry Disappointed as Digital Assets Fail to Make an Appearance in First 2024 US Presidential Debate

    Despite hopes from industry participants, the topic of crypto was not discussed during the first general debate of the 2024 U.S. presidential election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The debate, hosted by CNN, primarily focused on the economy, with brief mentions of other issues such as abortion, immigration, and foreign policy. While crypto has been a talking point throughout the election cycle, neither candidate made any significant statements about it during the debate. The crypto industry is hoping for a Congress and administration that will pass legislation friendly to digital asset businesses, and is looking to repeat the massive spending on elections from 2022.
