Breathe. We’ve finally reached a pause in Sam-Bankman-Fried-palooza, as the trial of the former CEO of the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX is on recess until Thursday.
Prosecutors for the Southern District of New York started off small, calling a French cocoa bean trader to the stand to testify that he lost approximately $100,000 after FTX suddenly collapsed in November. But right after, the Justice Department brought out the big guns, including the three FTX insiders who flipped on Bankman-Fried soon after employees fled the Bahamas in November.
