Three Indicted for $400 Million FTX Hack Conspiracy

Three individuals have been charged in connection with an identity-theft conspiracy involving the $400 million hack of cryptocurrency exchange FTX in late 2022. Court records indicate that Robert Powell, the alleged leader of a SIM-card swapping group, is scheduled to appear in federal court in Chicago. The other two defendants, Carter Rohn and Emily Hernandez, are also facing charges related to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and access device fraud.

While the indictment does not explicitly name FTX as the primary victim, the details of the hack align with the publicly known information about the incident.
