"Forbes" magazine published an article stating that although former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) claimed that he was not responsible for running Alameda Research, he did not know about Alameda's financial situation. But in fact, "Forbes" magazine stated that it had contacted SBF as early as January 2021, when SBF sent it a form recording its personal holdings, including the assets it personally entrusted to Alameda to manage , and has since made several updates explaining some of the major changes, including Alameda trading a portion of SOL, and repurchasing some FTX shares from Binance, among others. Forbes said that while the form does not imply knowledge of all of Alameda's activities, it is not as ignorant as it claims.
