SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 15 – On the US v Sam
Bankman-Fried trial, hours
after the guilty verdict, a
book was published: "Crypto
Criminal: The Conviction of
Sam Bankman-Fried: As live
tweeted and investigated from
inside the SDNY courthouse by
Matthew Russell Lee,"
paperback coming (in the
morning?) for now, 200 page
ebook here.
Soft cover here.
"He did not know
then how it or he would turn
out. It could have been
called, Crypto Houdini. But it
wasn't." And a second trial?
Well, no.
Past 6 pm on December 29, 2023
the US Attorney Office wrote
to Judge Kaplan "to provide
notice to the Court and the
defendant that it does not
plan to proceed with a second
trial in the above-captioned
matter." So no evidence and
cross examination about the
campaign finance and China
bribe counts, no getting to
the bottom of who took the
money. It is known that
officials in the Bahamas,
whose request to drop these
charges DOJ cited in severing
them, took SBF's and FTX
customers' money.
SBF's new
lawyers Mukasey and Young's
sentencing submission was due
Feb 27
Past 11 pm on
February 27, SBF's memo
posited his sentencing
guideline at 63 to 78 months
and asked for a sentence "that
returns Sam promptly to a
productive role in society."
Memo on Patreon here
