"Bankman-Fried's Trial Testimony: Dodging, Waffling, and a Brutal Cross-Examination"
Sam Bankman-Fried, former crypto executive, faced cross-examination during a trial hearing on criminal fraud charges. The judge expressed frustration with Bankman-Fried's evasive answers, and the defendant may have to give his testimony twice depending on the judge's ruling. Bankman-Fried's defense team aims to prove he acted in good faith, but former prosecutors believe he will struggle to convince the jury. Bankman-Fried is accused of using stolen customer funds to finance risky investments, political contributions, and personal expenses.
