Abstract: Given a minimal action $alpha$ of a countable group on the Cantor set, we show that the alternating full group $mathsfA(alpha)$ is non-amenable if and only if the topological full group $mathsfF(alpha)$ is $C^{*}$-simple. This implies, for instance, that the Elek-Monod example of non-amenable topological full group coming from a Cantor minimal $mathbb{Z}^2$-system is $C^{*}$-simple.
