Sam Bankman-Fried's High-Stakes Testimony: A Make or Break Moment

Former crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried took the stand in a New York courtroom as his defense team attempted to showcase their strongest arguments of his innocence. Bankman-Fried faces seven criminal counts, including wire fraud and money laundering, that could result in over 100 years in prison if convicted. The defense's case hinges on whether the jury believes Bankman-Fried's testimony, but legal experts believe the evidence against him is overwhelming. Bankman-Fried's defense team has struggled to undermine the allegations and witness testimonies presented by prosecutors. The judge will rule on the admissibility of certain topics, and Bankman-Fried's testimony before the jury is expected soon.
