FTX Trial Begins with Testimony from Cocoa Bean Trader Who Lost $100,000

Marc-Antoine Julliard, a cocoa bean trader, testified as the first witness in the criminal fraud trial against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. Julliard recounted his experience with FTX, including the anxiety he felt when he unsuccessfully tried to withdraw $100,000 worth of crypto and cash from the platform. The prosecution aims to prove that FTX misled clients into believing their funds were safe. Bankman-Fried faces federal charges including wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering. The defense argues that clients should be accountable for their own choices in buying and trading crypto. The trial is expected to last six weeks.
