Here's how I understand it on a 40,000ft level.

He took $16B from people who thought they were investing in crypto on his "exchange" and gave it to another company of his. That company used it to make other outside investments. Those investments ultimately cratered and he was unable to cover people who wanted to sell/transfer the crypto they thought they had on his exchange. At that point he stole the last $600M from his customers' accounts, and is now on the lamb trying to avoid extradition back to the US.
