The Federal Reserve has concluded its enforcement action against Farmington Bank, which had ties to Sam Bankman-Fried and the collapsed crypto exchange FTX, marking the end of the bank's operations.

  • The Federal Reserve announced the termination of its enforcement action against Farmington Bank, initially imposed due to improper business model changes.
  • Farmington Bank, once linked to Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX, has completed its wind-down plan and no longer operates as a bank.
  • The enforcement action, in place since July 2023, aimed to protect the bank's depositors during its operational wind-down.
