10/3/2023: SBF Trials Starts
US v. Bankman-Fried trial started today. You can see the complete live tweeting stream by clicking on the image above. Apparently, today they are mostly selecting jurors and it’s not done yet. The judge also gave out the list of people who may testify, which include former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison, Sam Trabucco, FTX co-founders Nisha Singh and Gary Wong, and representatives from Sequoia Capital, Binance and many other crypto big players. The trial is going to last for 6 weeks and it’s going to be really interesting. On a related note, Michael Lewis’s book about SBF Going Infinite is alsov released today. I can’t wait to read it. Michael Lewis showed a lot of sympathy for SBF in a recent 60-minutes interview and got a lot of backlash. Apparently, there are a lot of juicy details that were previously not made public until this book. I will reserve my judgment until I finish reading it and I will report back my thoughts.
