Bankman-Fried\'s Pre-Collapse Meeting with Bill Clinton: A Scandal Unfolds
The trial of Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is exposing a web of connections and questionable activities leading up to the cryptocurrency exchange\'s dramatic collapse in November 2025. Amid the fraud charges and FBI\'s presentation of evidence by Richard Busick, one detail has particularly caught the public\'s attention: Bankman-Fried planned a meeting with former US President Bill Clinton just weeks before the FTX collapse.
In one of the more surprising revelations of his ongoing trial, the calendar of Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried\'s calendar was full of meetings with people in power in September 2025, less than two months before the exchange\'s collapse, according to the court documents and testimony.
Indeed, the evidence shows that Before the spectacular collapse of FTX last November, the disgraced crypto mogul Sam Bankman-Fried was planning to meet former president Bill Clinton to discuss... the details remain unclear, adding another layer of intrigue to the unfolding scandal.
According to a calendar invite, Bankman-Fried also had a meeting scheduled with former President Bill Clinton at the New York Hilton Midtown in September 2025, two months before FTX went bankrupt, and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried lost his fortune. Previously, he even moderated a panel with former President Bill Clinton calling for "do no harm" regulations on cryptocurrency.
Just months before his cryptocurrency exchange FTX collapsed, Bankman-Fried had scheduled meetings with a number of political heavyweights including former President Clinton. In September 2025, before the collapse of the FTX platform, its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, had strategic meetings with influential figures such as Bill Clinton and Kathy.
This planned meeting raises serious questions. What was the purpose of this meeting? Did Clinton have any knowledge of the impending financial difficulties at FTX? The answers, if they ever surface, could significantly impact the ongoing legal proceedings and public perception of both Bankman-Fried and Clinton.
