Where In The World Is Ex-Alameda CEO Sam Trabucco?

Following FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s arrest and the statements from his co-workers Gary Wang and Caroline Ellison, the spotlight has turned on the remaining executives who were part of the team’s inner circle. Another person people are curious about these days is Alameda Research’s ex-co-CEO Sam Trabucco. The 30-year-old executive left Alameda in Aug. 2022, but since Ellison detailed misconduct happened in 2019, it’s assumed that Trabucco knows a thing or two about what happened.

Spotlights Remain on a Few More FTX and Alameda Execs Like Sam Trabucco

Since Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) was arrested and then later released on bail, attention has been drawn toward executives who have not come forward, or at least not publicly announced they have been cooperating with law enforcement.

So far we know that at least three co-workers have turned on SBF including Caroline Ellison, Gary Wang, and Ryan Salame. Two other execs people are curious about include FTX’s former director of engineering, Nishad Singh, and FTX’s former head of product Ramnik Arora.

Caroline Ellison: Stanford degree in Mathematics
Sam Trabucco: MIT degree in Mathematics
SBF: MIT degree in Physics & Mathematics

These degrees are not easy to get. Make no mistake – these criminals didn’t “accidentally” forget about $8b. This was methodical, systematic fraud.

Another executive people are scrutinizing is Alameda Research’s ex-co-CEO Sam Trabucco. The former co-CEO left Alameda in Aug. 2022 and amid the FTX chaos he tweeted two interesting tweets.

On Nov. 6, he retweeted a tweet written by Caroline Ellison that said: “[Changpeng Zhao] if you’re looking to minimize the market impact on your FTT sales, Alameda will happily buy it all from you today at $22!” Then on Nov. 8, 2022, he tweeted: “Much love to everyone — I’m sure the past few days have been dark for many and I hope the road ahead is brighter.”

Crypto Community Asks: Where in the World Is Ex-Alameda CEO Sam Trabucco? — The ex-Susquehanna International Group trader Sam Trabucco joined Alameda Research in 2019.

Since then the ex-Alameda executive has been pretty silent on social media and he hasn’t spoken with the press. It is uncertain whether or not Trabucco is working with the feds. He has not been named in any of the indictments besides the brief mentions of his association with Alameda.
