eli5: How exactly did SBF (allegedly) steal billions of dollars from FTX customer accounts?

Trying to figure out the mechanics of the ‘con’ here. If a customer deposited $100K in FTX to purchase Bitcoin, did FTX actually purchase the Bitcoin and then that Bitcoin was siphoned off by SBF’s trading company Alameda Research? Or did the $100K just go in some kind of slush fund that SBF tapped into when Alameda went into its death spiral?
