I like to see what the most tracked flight is at any given time. View from the Wing states that today's most tracked flight is unusual.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s private jet flies to Argentina

The second largest exchange in the world collapsed this week. Sam Bankman- Fried's net worth fell from tens of billions of dollars to almost nothing.

Over the course of a week, this entire collapse happened, as Binance decided to liquidate its holdings in FTX's coin. The main asset of Bankman-Fried's trading firm turned out to be their own coin, and they had pledged that as a security for loans. Customers began withdrawing funds after this information was made public. The company has filed for reorganization.

Everyone at the office has been told to leave. There were reports last night that FTX was hacked in the Bahamas. Hmm...

Last night, at around 8:20PM, Bankman-Fried's 14-year-old Gulfstream G450 with the registration code LV-KEB took off from the Nassau Pindling International Airport.

The plane flew south after climbing up to 45,000 feet. After covering 4,300 miles, the plane made a landing in El Palomar, Argentina, not far from Buenos Aires.

Is Bankman-Fried fleeing to Argentina, or…?

I haven't seen any proof that Bankman- Fried was on the plane. It is possible that he was on the plane and that the timing adds up to him wanting to leave.

There is a treaty between the United States and Argentina that could be used to extradite someone. His private jet makes a lot of trips to Argentina. The data is from Flightradar 24.

Bottom line

Sam Bankman-Fried, the company's founder and former CEO, flew his private jet from the Bahamas to Argentina. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

What do you think of this flight?
