House linked to Sam Bankman-Fried goes on sale for $3.28 million

A Washington townhouse linked to the founder of the bankrupt exchange FTX Sam Bankman-Fried is on the market for $3.28 million.

In April 2022, the property was purchased for a similar amount by Guardians Against Pandemics, a nonprofit run by the brother of the former head of the exchange, Gabe Bankman-Fried.

The four-story home, spanning 4,100 square feet (380.9 square metres), has four bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Shortly before FTX’s collapse, representatives of Guardians Against Pandemics hosted two parties at the home — one for “high-ranking Democrats” and Republican leaders.

The sale is being handled by Pearson Smith Realty.

Bankman-Fried faces eight criminal charges, carrying a maximum sentence of up to 115 years.

In December, the founder of FTX arrested in the Bahamas and extradited to the United States. A New York court released him on bail of $250 million, SBF refused to plead guilty to all counts.

Recently, U.S. federal prosecutors seized assets worth $697 million from Bankman-Fried. The bulk consists of 55.2 million Robinhood shares, which were valued at about $526 million at the close of trading on January 21.
