FTX collapse: Inside Sam Bankman-Fried's luxe $40 million Bahamas bunker - Fox Business

FIRST ON FOX: After allegedly fleecing up to a million investors for billions of dollars around the globe, fallen FTX crypto king Sam Bankman-Fried is hiding out inside an ultra-luxe Bahamas resort, behind concrete walls and guarded checkpoints, a world apart from his clients as they scramble to recover lost assets.

The Albany Resort southwest of Nassau covers 600 waterfront acres, with a "rare collection of amenities" that make it, according to the brochure, "a quiet island getaway, sportsperson's paradise, elegant retreat and genuine community.".

Sam Bankman-Fried's $40 million penthouse is the crown jewel of the Orchid, named for it's "custom-made orchid cutout facade," which Albany's website says was inspired by the French Quarter in New Orleans.

Bankman-Fried’s $40 million penthouse tops the Orchid building, the southernmost tower on the Albany mega yacht marina’s west side.

Albany co-owner Joe Lewis reportedly purchased several replicas of Wall Street's Charging Bull statue, all made by the original artist – including this one just steps away from Sam Bankman-Fried's $40 million penthouse.
