RE: Where the money went - The customer's money was used for the following purposes:
1. To pay for Alameda's (Sam Bankman Fried's hedge fund) and FTX's loses
2. Invest in venture capital and make acquisitions
3. Political donations
4. Charitable donations
5. Luxury real-estate, boats, etc.
6. "loans" (i.e. transfer of stolen funds) to FTX's top executives
RE: Intent - Intent was easy to prove. All of Sam Bankman-Fried's fellow executives testified against him. In addition, Sam Bankman-Fried gave several interviews after FTX's collapse where he basically admitted he lied, fucked up, etc. Also, there was a lot of documents proving Sam Bankman-Fried lied. A good example is him saying FTX was fine on Twitter (X) and then it collapsed a few days later.
