Bankman-Fried has trouble on the stand [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2023-10-27

Appearing only before the judge, Samuel Bankman-Fried, accused crypto scammer, took the stand for the first time. It would appear that speculation was correct, and Mr. Bankman-Fried is making a gigantic mistake testifying in his defense. Even if what the former CEO of failed crypto exchange FTX communicates is true, how he does it infuriates the judge, also making the court stenographer's job impossible.

Bankman-Fried is not listening to and certainly not directly answering questions. There are also complaints that he can not be heard; his manner of speech is mumbling and difficult to discern. A glowing example of crypto's best and brightest!
