Former Bankman-Fried executive seeks leniency for building fraud detection tool
Published On Nov 14, 2024, 4:49 AM
Gary Wang, a former CTO of FTX, is seeking a reduced sentence by showcasing his efforts in developing software tools that aid in detecting fraud in both the stock and cryptocurrency markets. His cooperation with the government has been highlighted as a factor that may distinguish him from other associates of Sam Bankman-Fried who received harsher sentences. The effectiveness of these tools, however, remains undisclosed to protect their functionality.
