Ellison claims Bankman-Fried pressured her to create fake balance sheets to hide debt. FTX’s scandal widens as former CTO Gary Wang also testifies about false insurance fund figures.

These allegations have thrust the crypto community into disarray as the accountability battle between Ellison and Bankman-Fried takes center stage. Meanwhile, Ellison is not the only FTX business insider who has testified against Bankman-Fried.
