SBF described himself as being 'surprised' to find out he was actually, in fact, the CEO of FTX. 😮💀

You wonder how a guy who's supposedly brilliant in math lose track of 8B? My guess is he's just a brilliant con who convinced others to drink his kool-aid.🤔

h ah aha funny, yes. My thoughts, too. Is anybody gonna ask him what he was doing when he was "so busy" ~ apparently 'too busy' to learn what the heck was going on around him~? I mean, they should ask, what specifically did you do all damned day?

Thank you for your professional and comprehensive coverage. I look forward to them each day of the trial.

Of all the commentators on the trial you are the best, at least from the perspective of viewers who, above all, want unblemished facts.

Great job Linda ! Thank you for all the hard work

Thanks for the huge effort in reporting this..

So modest from the guy who plays video games during meetings.

Thanks so much for your insights and coverage! Really appreciate all your hard work.

Excellent recap! Great job as usual!

Thank you, Laura! Great work, really appreciate your coverage!

No remorse just blames others typical Prince of Dem Darkness.

Great reporting, really enjoying these updates. Well done!

You don't make billions of dollars by accident. His ignorant CEO story is such nonsense.

Great job Linda! Excellent recap.

Brilliant summary! How do you take detailed notes so quickly?

No coding error will explain why you are billions in negative and trying to blame the issues on code bugs is just yet another way for SBF to try to deflect blame. Coding errors is so convenient way to blame because no one intentionally of course has bugs in code, so it's yet another unintentional "oopsie!" without any person to really blame for being intentionally malicious. However, any reasonable person does track and validate what the code is doing in the high level and that the numbers make sense.

"Coding error" is a good way to steal. I learned this from Office Space.

Yes, and the guy who actually wrote the code could point to the code showing it was no error, and he was told to put that feature in by SBF.

Would you give please give a concise account of where SBF’s and his inner circle’s testimony directly conflict?

In university, Sam studied (1) physics and (2) math. Seemingly nobody wants to reflect on how remarkably poorly prepared he was for this career path by that education. He genuinely would have learned more of (salient) value going through a mediocre MBA.

yeah for sure & he'd have lost more dosh ? pffft

Let's call him Sam, Why shower this individual with the esteemed honor of initials, as if it were a badge of honesty and professionalism? After all, who needs to afford him any undue reverence? Hearing his excuses of being oblivious to the finances of the company is all the more reason why a 150 year sentence is justified if found guilty.

His defense is basically "I'm completely clueless"??

Blaming lawyers for the entire fraud, yet no subpoena (yet) for Dan Friedberg. 🙃

"BUG" ? more like EXPLOIT how come every customer works fine except them hmmmm? thats what i call deliberate. luckily people dont seem to understand that bugs dont "cherry pick who it works for"

We are almost at the climax of this most satisfying schadenfreude opportunity. So, I am starting to anticipate the next one. Taking mommy and daddy down. Seems like mommy will be easy picking since it seems to be undisputed that she told Sammy how to make illegal campaign donations. So, I would expect they will go after mommy when Sam's political contributions trial ends. I don't know enough about daddy to identify how they will get him. But since he was trying to make the house in the Bahamas bankruptcy proof, shortly before the bankruptcy. tells us daddy knew enough about what was going on. (Generally, transfers by a bankrupt, shortly before filing, must be given back to the estate. Daddy apparently came up with some scheme that would disguise the transfer.)

The failed entrepreneur defense is something the jury may use to shield SBF from a lifetime in jail. He might be found innocent of some or all of the seven counts brought against him. One person was punished as a result of the 2008 Real Estate crisis. And these people knew that they were defrauding home buyers and the government.

It is unlikely that SBF is going to have that leniency. SBF talked and did way too much to overlook. SBF can't throw himself into the mercy of the court and beg mercy because the entire Jury will just be pointed to him violating his parole, him leaking private diaries of someone he was supposed to love, etc. etc. Caroline was the kill shot. When even someone who was romantically involved just stabs the knife into your back that means a lot and if SBF tries to argue everyone in his company was corrupt like he did now the prosecutors will say "Who hired them? Who hired the lawyer from Ultimate Bets to do what other lawyers won't do?" SBF convicted himself with his own speech and will continue to do so.

He tries to paint himself as ignorant CEO. But ignorance is not legal justification to commit crime.

Loved listening to your clear concise explanations of proceedings . Has Brett Harrison, former FTX president been subpoenaed ? Seems very strange that the focus is on SBF, yet a former Citadel quant turns up on the scene amidst the Gamestop fraud, and leaves before the crap hits the fan. Harrison is quoted stating Gamestop tokens we're backed 1:1 in FTX. I would love to ask the Harvard grad some questions in Court.👋

cant he at least wear the t-shirt and cargo shorts on the stand?

He’s 100% an obvious crook. I’m sure his parents were all in … too. Justice would mean… a long jail sentence for him and shorter jail time for his parents. If I can see they are crooks… anyone can see that too.

of course but not only them .. rabbit holes go a LOT deeper ..just like Karpeles & MT Gox

Laura you're great!

Have his parents testify.....they were advising him.....

Lol, the defense trying to paint a picture to the jury as if he's partly victim of the allegations due to his unusual appearance as the CEO of FTX.. how he dresses or what kind of hair he wears, which are completely irrelevant to the case. I hope the jury is intelligent enough to see through this red herring.

SBF must be thinking that we are really stupid 🙄 😒. Such a lier

Coming back to these uploads July 2024 and still learning more detail. Sam's 'it's all always somebody else's fault' excuse didn't bode well, now did it?

He is guilty! You can’t be ignorant to the fact you don’t have billions in revenue or investor money and yet you spend money like you have billions. Lock him up

Why is the audio ahead of the video? Is the audio re-recorded?

I have a one BNB bet , he doesn’t spend a day in jail.

The crazy thing is that all the FTX Insiders could have made this harder on the prosecution by all of them not taking any plea deals and shutting up and getting solid lawyers. The FEDs would have had a years long battle with them

Correct, but they all knew that one or more of the others would eventually crack and cooperate (just like the Trumpster’s crew). They all faced the classic Prisoner’s Dilemma.
