It was claimed that former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was considering paying Donald Trump to prevent him from running for US president. Author Michael Lewis touched on this topic in his new book "Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon." According to Lewis, Bankman-Fried thought Trump threatened US democracy and planned to put him on the "existential risks list." However, this plan did not come true because Bankman-Fried no longer had $5 billion.

The high-profile Sam Bankman-Fried trial will begin with jury selection on October 3, with trial beginning on October 4. The case includes seven fraud charges, two substantive charges and five conspiracy charges against Bankman-Fried. What are your thoughts regarding these claims?
