Sam Bankman-Fried to Take the Stand in FTX Fraud Trial

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried will testify in his own defense in the fraud trial against him, according to his attorney. This decision allows federal prosecutors to cross-examine him regarding the collapse of his crypto exchange. Bankman-Fried's defense team secured an adequate supply of his ADHD medication, which had been a concern. The defense will begin immediately after the government finishes its case, with three additional witnesses set to testify. Bankman-Fried is accused of fraud and money laundering related to the collapse of FTX, with the government presenting evidence of his alleged misuse of customer funds.
