Crypto's biggest trial begins tomorrow. Its outcome may hinge on Sam Bankman-Fried's former colleagues.
It is officially trial week, everyone – or as Bloomberg’s Joe Weisenthal would likely put it, “this is why we get up in the morning.” It’s been exactly nine months and 20 days since Sam Bankman-Fried got arrested at his then-home in the Bahamas. Today marks the last day before he is set to start the trial in which he will win back his freedom – or be locked up for what a federal judge says could be a “very long” time.
Arguably the most damning evidence – or lack thereof – could come from the recollections and personal opinions of Bankman-Fried’s former colleagues, friends and housemates. We never got an explanation for what, exactly, happened and how the exploit was carried out. I imagine federal investigators are probably closely tracking this episode, however.
