Sam Bankman-Fried's evasive testimony turns first day of trial into "deposition"
According to Judge Lewis Kaplan, Sam Bankman-Fried's first day of testimony in his criminal trial turned into a "deposition" due to his evasive responses to questions. The defense attempted to question Bankman-Fried about the lawyers he relied on while running FTX and Alameda, but the government objected. Bankman-Fried struggled with his memory and often gave non-answers or apologies for not knowing more during cross-examination by Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon. The trial had multiple overflow rooms, and author Michael Lewis was in attendance. Bankman-Fried is expected to testify soon, with the trial possibly concluding by Tuesday.
