Sam Bankman-Fried’s younger brother was on a memo exchange, along with an officer of the FTX Foundation, about a potential plan to purchase the island nation of Nauru in the Pacific to create a fortified apocalypse bunker state, a lawsuit filed in Delaware bankruptcy court alleges.

The memo, which was exchanged between Gabe Bankman-Fried, brother of the FTX founder, and the foundation representative described a possible purchase of Nauru in the “event where 50%-99.99% of people die.” On the island, they could ensure that most effective altruists survived and could create “sensible regulation around human genetic enhancement, and build a lab there,” the lawsuit said, citing the memo.
