FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty Tuesday to the array of federal charges he faces for allegedly defrauding customers and investors in connection with the collapse of his cryptocurrency empire.

The 30-year-old entrepreneur stood in person at the U.S. District Court in Manhattan before Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, after his request to appear remotely for the arraignment hearing was denied. Bankman-Fried did not speak but entered his plea through his attorneys.

Bankman-Fried's latest court appearance comes less than two weeks after he was released from federal custody when his parents agreed to sign a $250 million personal recognizance bond and keep him at their Palo Alto, California home on electronic monitoring while he awaits trial.

Bankman-Fried's mother, Barbara Fried, was also present in the courtroom Tuesday.

A report filed in court yesterday by the new FTX CEO John Ray shows that former FTX employees not only lost track of millions of dollars, but also made jokes internally about their poor record keeping
