In a recent expose, Inner City Press, known for its intelligent investigative reporting, recently shared his insights in X post about the conspicuous absence of Sam Trabucco’s name from the list of those indicted in the SBF trial. Instead of just live tweeting, the report delved deeper into the matter. It raised the question of why Trabucco has seemingly evaded legal scrutiny for his alleged violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the controversial FTX/Alameda Chinese bribe case.
He forget to say:

In case of an investigation by any federal entity or similar, I do not have any involvement with this group or with the people in it, I do not know how I am here, probably added by a third party, I do not support any actions by members of this group.
The Inner City Press’ findings suggested that Trabucco’s departure in August granted him a reprieve from potential legal entanglements. However, an unexpected revelation emerged from a Signal chat on November 6, 2022, where Trabucco was an active participant. This development casts doubt on the narrative of a clean break from implicated parties.
In response to potential investigations by federal entities, Trabucco maintains a staunch denial of any involvement with the group or its members. He asserted his lack of knowledge regarding his presence, attributing it to the possible intervention of a third party. Additionally, he explicitly disclaims support for any actions undertaken by members of this group.
According to Inner City Press recent X post, a crucial Vertex chat took place on November 6, 2022. The chat involved a select group of individuals, Trabucco, SBF, Ellison, and Ben Xie. The fact that this group was exclusive undermines any claim that Trabucco was accidentally included, as expected in a larger, more loosely-knit forum. Additionally, the brevity of the GX, which spans just a single page, raises the question.
Well put, but Trabucco was one of only four participants in this Nov 6, 2022 Signal chat called "Vertex," with SBF, Ellison and Ben Xie. It wasn't a big group where he could say he was added without his knowledge. The GX is only 1 page – is there more? On it… https://t.co/zrk3aNbg0p
