Latest Reports on SBF’s Trial
FTX Boss, Sam Bankman-Fried, faces tough times in court, accused of tricking people.
The trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, the man behind the crypto platform FTX, has had a rough start. Many believe he's not winning. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says he tricked customers and investors for a long time. They claim he knew bad things were happening at FTX and Alameda Research, even though he says he didn't.
Many expected Bankman-Fried to have problems in this big trial. Documents and FTX leaders point at him, and his recent public apologies haven't helped. A legal expert said, “SBF is going to be the victim of his own success.”
The courtroom has also been challenging for him. Judge Lewis Kaplan seems not to like his lawyers from Cohen & Gresser. Some watchers say that many of the defense's questions are being rejected, and the judge often sides with the prosecutors.
