International evaluations of the institution have harshly criticised it for having an insufficient sanitary system and too many residents.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have also filed civil complaints against Bankman-Fried, alleging that he deceived investors and transferred customer funds entrusted to the FTX exchange to his private trading company, Alameda Research.

FTX's risk management shortcomings have been admitted by Bankman-Fried, but he has consistently denied any involvement on his part.
