NEW YORK (AP) — FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried sought a dismissal of criminal charges against him in a court filing late Monday, saying prosecutors have improperly made federal crimes out of civil and regulatory issues that resulted from an industrywide collapse of cryptocurrency markets dubbed the “crypto winter.”Lawyers for the onetime head of a multibillion dollar cryptocurrency exchange said in papers in Manhattan federal court that the U.S. government had a “dramatic — and troubling” response to a broad market crash in cryptocurrency last year that affected every corner of the market.They said Bankman-Fried’s non-U.S. FTX company lasted far longer than others in the industry before it entered bankruptcy in November when the global exchange ran out of money after the equivalent of a bank run. A trial is tentatively set for the fall.Prosecutors alleged in December that Bankman-Fried cheated investors and looted customer deposits on FTX to make lavish real estate purchases, donate ...

That blunt honesty makes Severino a strong quote — and believable when he states that he wants to spend his entire career in pinstripes.“This is the only team that I know,” Severino, an impending free agent, told the Daily News. “I would love to be here the rest of my life.”The right-hander said that Monday, a day after he expressed frustration over how, in his opinion, the Yankees have slow-played his recovery from a low-grade lat strain suffered at the end of spring training. He hoped the injury would only cause him to miss three or four starts.On Sunday, Severino said it was “unnecessary” for him to throw a simulated game last Friday before beginning a rehab assignment this week, and he made several one-liners that ...
