Reply to comment by qdpb in Sam Bankman-Fried’s ex spotted in NYC as rumors of her flipping on him swirl by sassbayc

He’s got really good lawyers and would be in from to a jury. They’ll spend half the trial explaining what crypto is before they can even get to the evidence of why he was committing fraud.

Go look at his interviews recently. Finance speak for a shmuck like me doesn’t make sense at all, so it’s very hard to tell when he’s lying and when he’s not. That’s my fear at least. His lawyers are very good at their jobs

He’s screwed homie. He’s been a dead man walking for a while. His counsel is likely going to spend the whole time arguing his ignorance but the facts are overwhelming.

Edit: Should add that the DOJ are going to bring just as good, if not better, lawyers. There are some incredibly talented attorneys that work for them.

If I were the judge, I would skip the crypto part. Who cares what assets FTX is holding? He failed at being a custodian of customer funds and move them to a trading firm in which he owns majority.

It’s also just not that pertinent of an issue. The questions are whether he lied to shareholders and customers.

Agreed. My point is the tech (crypto, blockchain technology) has nothing to do with the suppose fraud except it’s an asset and mechanism for transport

Bro that would bore the jurors to tears. That is a very poor litigation strategy.
