Fallen crypto titan Sam Bankman-Fried has just taken the stand at his criminal fraud trial in Manhattan federal court.
On Thursday, a squirrely SBF tried to squirm his way out of answering questions during a surprise hearing at his Manhattan federal fraud trial — as he claimed his trading firm had been “permitted” to “borrow” the $8 billion in FTX user funds he is charged with stealing.
Bankman-Fried, 31, flailed as prosecutor Danielle Sassoon grilled him on the stand after the judge sent jurors home for the day to go over what evidence would be included in the accused crypto crook’s hotly-anticipated Friday morning testimony.
