According to Bloomberg, a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators is pressing Silvergate Capital (SI), to give more information about its knowledge about FTX’s alleged misappropriation of customer funds.
Bloomberg viewed a Monday letter that Silvergate received from the senators asking about Silvergate’s connections to the defunct crypto exchange. Silvergate replied that its previous answers to similar questions in December were incomplete and evasive.
Senators Elizabeth Warren (D.Mass.) is among them. Roger Marshall (R.Kansas), and John Kennedy (R.La. ).
Silvergate shares were up by more than 4% on Tuesday morning, but they have fallen 88% in the past year.
Silvergate and Sen. Warren did not immediately respond to our request for comment.
