Bankman-Fried's Brother Planned to Buy Island for Genetic Enhancement Bunker Before FTX Collapse

Sam Bankman-Fried's younger brother Gabe attempted to purchase the island of Nauru to build a bunker in case of an apocalypse.

Gabe wanted to use funds from FTX to buy the island and build a lab for "human genetic enhancement."

The post-apocalyptic island would allow survivors to develop regulation around genetic enhancement.

FTX collapsed in November 2022, leaving 1 million customers out of pocket by up to $9 billion.

Bankman-Fried was extradited from The Bahamas to New York in December and his trial began this week.
