Lawyers representing former FTX CEO

Oct. 13 marked the eighth day of Bankman-Fried’s criminal trial, for which he has pleaded not guilty to all charges. This week, former Alameda Research CEO and SBF’s ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison testified, admitting to committing fraud at the direction of Bankman-Fried by providing fraudulent documents and making misleading statements concerning Alameda using FTX funds.

BlockFi founder CEO Zac Prince took the stand late on Oct. 12 and into Oct. 13, testifying on a $400-million credit line the firm provided to FTX US in July 2022 and the ripples caused by the collapse of Terraform Labs and Three Arrows Capital. The trial has been adjourned until Oct. 16.
