Sam Bankman-Fried’s kamikaze defense

Bankman-Fried’s trial is now more about how many people he can take with him, and whether he can sink a boat or two before exploding himself.

Sam Bankman-Fried on the stand is even worse than we expected

Bankman-Fried crumbled under cross-examination, stumbling, mumbling, avoiding questions, and saying he “did not recall” key details.

It appears that, for fallen FTX wonder boy Sam Bankman-Fried, stealing funds from customers was purely rational.

FTX’s former general counsel Can Sun testified to his own ongoing deception by Sam Bankman-Fried in 2021 and 2022.

So far at trial, Bankman-Fried’s team has made repeated, serious missteps that could do him more harm than good in the eyes of the jury.
