FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested by Bahamian authorities Monday evening, setting the stage for extradition and U.S. trial for the one-time crypto billionaire at the heart of the crypto exchange’s collapse. Before his arrest was announced, Bankman-Fried had been expected to testify virtually before the House Financial Services Committee today, but his attorneys told CNBC that he will not appear. Joe Kernen, Becky Quick, and Andrew Ross Sorkin discuss the charges of wire fraud, securities fraud, commodities fraud, and money laundering that face Sam Bankman-Fried. Plus, Moderna and Merck have been developing an experimental cancer vaccine that leverages mRNA technology to target melanoma. In a mid stage trial, the vaccine cut recurrence by 44%; Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel outlines how the company is working with regulators for accelerated approval.
