Harrison revealed that he taught Bankman-Fried, an intern, programming at Jane Street, a proprietary trading firm. After graduating from MIT, he went to work there full-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I knew Sam from Jane Street,&#8221; said Brett Harrison, who was the president of FTX.US until September 2022, when he <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BrettHarrison88\/status\/1574782901748727809\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced<\/a> his departure from the crypto trading platform. In a recent interview, Harrison pointed out the \u201cmany lies\u201d of Bankman-Fried, the former crypto billionaire who has now been <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinwisdom.com\/ftx-trial-sam-bankman-fried-found-guilty-on-all-7-counts\/\">found guilty on seven counts and is awaiting sentencing<\/a> that will take place in March 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harrison also confirmed that Caroline Ellison, Bankman-Fried\u2019s former girlfriend and also the ex-CEO of Alameda Research, a controversial trading firm, was also his student at Jane Street. The former FTX executive confirmed that he didn\u2019t interact with Ellison much but worked with SBF multiple times.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an exclusive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/markets\/cryptocurrency\/23\/11\/35855739\/exclusive-sam-bankman-fried-was-a-programming-student-of-former-ftx-us-president-claims-he\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interview<\/a>, Harrison, who is now the founder and CEO of institutional-grade crypto trading platform Architect, revealed, \u201cSam was one of my programming students at Jane Street, Caroline too.\u201d Interestingly, Bankman-Fried made a statement last year that he &#8220;doesn&#8217;t know how to code.&#8221; However, Harrison claims that he taught SBF how to code.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;That was completely false, one of his many lies,&#8221; Harrison said about the FTX founder\u2019s claim that he &#8220;couldn&#8217;t code.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>After SBF resigned from his position as FTX CEO, he held a series of lengthy conversations with crypto content creator Tiffany Fong, and in a November 6, 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xP54LZB3WRw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a>, he said that he doesn\u2019t know how to code. Fong asked Bankaman-Fried about the &#8220;backdoor&#8221; that reportedly allowed him to &#8220;execute commands that could alter the [FTX] company&#8217;s financial records without alerting others.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sam Bankman-Fried: Second Interview\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xP54LZB3WRw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bankman-Fried said at that time, \u201cAnd this is something I would be doing?
