🚀Get ready, BTC enthusiasts! Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), founder and former CEO of the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, is set to face a 15-day trial in October to defend against charges brought by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The trial kicks off today (October 3) with jury selection, followed by opening arguments on October 4. Trial days are scheduled throughout October and early November, with visiting hours for SBF, who is currently jailed in Brooklyn.🏛️
⚖️However, the odds seem to be against SBF, as most of his defense strategies have hit roadblocks. Judge Kaplan recently ruled that SBF cannot blame FTX's counsel or wrongdoings at the exchange before its collapse. Additionally, the judge approved the DOJ's motion to bar all seven expert witnesses proposed by SBF, while denying SBF's motion to dismiss the DOJ's proposed expert witness.👨⚖️
