Well now in the case, it is the time for SBF ex girlfriend Caroline Ellison to speak about SBF. The former Alameda Research CEO and prosecution's star witness said some things.
She said Alameda borrowed $10 Billion from FTX but could not repay it. And then she blamed Binance CEO CZ tweets for FTX failing.

Well now the SBF lawyers are saying the man is nothing more then a 'math nerd'. In the opening arguments for his case they are saying the failure of FTX is to be blamed on other people.
He says the blame is on his ex girlfriend Caroline Ellison who was the CEO of Alameda. And also to blame is Binance CEO CZ since he was in charge of the FTX bank.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/class-action-suit-filed-against-binance-alleged-harm-ftx-collapse
"A class-action suit was filed against Binance.US and Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao on Oct. 2 in the District Court of Northern California, alleging various violations of federal and California law on unfair competition for attempting to monopolize the cryptocurrency market by harming its competitor FTX. The suit was brought by Nir Lahav, who is identified only as a California resident.
At issue are posts made by Zhao on Twitter (now X) in early November on the eve of FTX’s collapse. The posts were made in conjunction with the decision by the defendants to liquidate their holdings in the FTX utility token, FTT (FTT), on Nov. 6. The plaintiffs estimated that Binance owned up to 5% of all FTT tokens."

Some of my friends lost more than 10M dollers. Because after the FTX incident, FTT token and solona ecosystem really dumped hard. So they have to sell the tokens around 1-2$ per FTT token. Now I can see there is a reclaiming process is started. but what happened to the those who sold the crypto at that stage? Nothing

Today starts the trial for SBF. For his crimes with the ftx exchange SBF is now facing 110 years in prison if he is convicted on the charges.
It is just reported that SBF wanted to pay Donald Trump $5 Billion for him not to run for the US president. I want to know if that will be talked about today in his trial.

Good alibi but that alibi won't be taken by the majority. The connection is obvious and so this is now becoming a family affair. The once so called genius that everybody thought literally used his intelligence to pass on the wealth of their users to their families.It is being said he stole money from a 'dark money network'.

Well now it is just getting even worse for SBF. And now his parents are in the news. They are being sued by FTX that want some of the $26 Million in properties and gifts they got from the exchange.

Whoever does these investigations and finding out all of these huge purchases being done by their family should be given a raise.

SBF donated huge sum of amount to the current government regime that is why he is very confident with this kind of crime.
I know thwt by any means even though he might ended up in prison, his punishment will not be much.
I am very sorry for so many investors he reaped out with getting there funds back.
This is what I've been worried about for a long time. I think FTX has some backup behind it. What FTX has done is like something that was planned. Or at least plan to implement it.I know thwt by any means even though he might ended up in prison, his punishment will not be much.
I am very sorry for so many investors he reaped out with getting there funds back.
I also thought that there would be no harsh punishment to be had. It could have been something like a prison sentence for several years but it turns out he is still free outside prison.
And now FTX has been given permission to sell $3.4 Billion of its crypto assets that was frozen. It can sell $100 Million a week and to increase to $200 Million a week.
$1.1 Billion of SOL, $560 Million of BTC, $192 Million of ETH, $137 Million of APT, $119 Million of XRP, and $46 Million of STG.

Well now it is only getting worst for SBF. The criminal case is less then 1 month away for him. But he has lost his possibility to be freed from jail right away.
This is because the judge believes he tampered with witnesses at least 2 times.

SBF trial will be split up in 2 different proceedings. This is because they are worried that 5 of the 13 charges will be held up by court in the Bahamas.
He pleaded not guilty to all of these charges. There are 3 former FTX employees that have already pleaded guilty to similar charges.

Well still now it is looking like things are not going well for SFB. He is blaming the crimes of fraud on advice from a law firm.
It is from legal advice from 2017 to 2022.He just does not want to accept any of these responsibilities facing him. https://fortune.com/2023/05/30/sam-bankman-fried-ftx-fraud-law-firm-advice-defense/

Well it is only getting worse for SBF. Now he is going to be sued by FTX for the $250 Million he earned with the company. But he does not have this money so I am unsure it is ever going to be recovered.
