The Bahamas government reportedly worked with former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried to issue a new cryptocurrency controlled by local officials.

According to American lawyers, Bahamas officials were “responsible for directing unauthorized access” to FTX systems in order to take over control of digital assets under the supervision of a U.S. court., reportedly watched as someone minted new coins while he and his team attempted to get control of FTX’s computer systems, the report notes.
“It is a request for live, dynamic access that would be provided immediately to the government of the Bahamas and to Messrs,” the lawyers reportedly wrote in a court filing on Tuesday.
