Sam Bankman-Fried “scoffed” as his former paramour and business partner, Caroline Ellison, testified against him in his Manhattan federal court crypto fraud trial, prosecutors alleged.
This accusation against Bankman-Fried – who faces seven counts related to the collapse of FTX – came during a sidebar between lawyers and judge Lewis Kaplan on Wednesday that was audible neither to the courtroom gallery nor the jury. Transcripts of the trial published on Thursday detailed the exchange.
