TL;DR Summary

Prosecutors in the criminal trial against FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried compared one of the defense's arguments to a scene from the movie "Dumb and Dumber." The argument in question revolves around whether FTX customers were deprived of property when their funds were used for other purposes. Prosecutors argue that a credit to obtain funds at a later date is not the same as having the money or property itself. Bankman-Fried faces seven criminal fraud charges related to the collapse of his crypto empire and could face life in prison if convicted. The trial is ongoing.
