Brett Harrison, former head of FTX US, said he wasn’t aware of and didn't participate in the “criminal scheme” involving the company.
Brett Harrison, former head of the U.S. arm of FTX, distanced himself from the crypto exchange co-founded by Sam Bankman-Fried, which filed for bankruptcy back in November.
Harrison, who resigned as FTX US’s president in September, wrote about his experience with the company in a 49-part Twitter thread published Tuesday. Harrison had rarely made any public comments about FTX and had gone mostly silent when the digital-asset company flamed out this fall. Before his arrest last month, Bankman-Fried had said publicly that he never intended to defraud anyone.
Harrison said he stepped down last year from FTX.US, as his relationship with Bankman-Fried soured, after months of disputes over management practices. Harrison said he called for a responsible hiring policy, transparent communication between Bankman-Fried and FTX US leadership and recruitment of more experienced officers within the platform’s executive ranks.
