But earlier this year, SBF wasarrested in the Bahamasand charged with wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering, among other things. He was then extradited to the US and released from jail on a$250 million bond. Then, like a lot of people who are down on their luck, he moved back in with his parents.
