SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 2 – For US v Sam
Bankman-Fried, after more than
a day of jury selection, late
morning on October 4 the
twelve and six alternate were
selected. Inner City Press
live tweeted the voir dire here
and more below
On Nov 2, the
verdict, in thread here
OK - now counsel
have reassembled in the
courtroom. SBF still not
brought back in. AUSA Thane
Rehn flipping through a
document redactions. Judge
Kaplan: So, I just want to
make a record of the various
notes
Judge
Kaplan: An hour ago the jury
asked for the testimony of
Boroujerdi (of Third Point)
and Matt Huang (of Paradigm).
They also asked for Post-It
notes, and the actual
indictment. Now we'll wait for
further communications
Now with
the prosecutors (and judge)
out of the courtroom, SBF is
standing twisting something in
his hands while his lawyer
Mark Cohen speaks into his
ear. Now SBF is being led out
of the courtroom again by US
Marshals
For those asking
about Huang, here's from Inner
City Press thread: "AUSA: Were
you told that FTX was
transferring money from this
round of financing to Alameda?
Huang: No. And we would not
have invested. We invested
$278 million. We've marked it
to zero."
ALERT:
Courtroom deputy Andy: We have
received a note from the jury
that they have reached a
verdict. [Inner City Press
will live tweet, below]
Judge Kaplan:
Madam Foreperson, I understand
the jury has reached a
verdict. Please hand it to
Andy. Thank you. The clerk
will publish the verdict.
Please rise. Count 1: Guilty.
Count 2: Guilty. Count 3:
Guilty.
Deputy: Count 4?
Guilty. Count 5: Guilty Count
6: Guilty. Count 7: Guilty.
Deputy: Thank you. Judge
Kaplan: There's another
question, Andy. Deputy: Either
or both? Both.
SBF's lawyer Mark
Cohen: We would like the jury
polled. [Verdict is confirmed]
Judge Kaplan:
Jurors, I thank you. You did
what we hope all citizens do
when called for service. That
was your call. In just a
minute I am going to discharge
you. You can speak about it
Judge
Kaplan: If you do speak, be
sensitive to the feeling of
other jurors. If anyone
involved in the case contact
you and you say no and they
don't take no for an answer, I
will take appropriate steps if
I lawfully can do so. Leave
your notes there
Judge Kaplan: We
have scheduled a second trial
for March 11 [2024]. Let me
know by February 1 if that is
going to proceed. I want an
update on that. What is the
government's position on
setting a sentencing date on
this? AUSA Roos: Let's get the
PSR process going
Judge
Kaplan: I'll need Andy for
that. Or I can fly blind,
let's see if I can get my own
calendar up. We'll set
sentencing for March 28 at
9:30 in morning. Defense
submission by Feb 16, US by
March 8. Enough time, Mr.
Cohen? Cohen: Could we have
more time?
Judge
Kaplan: Feb 27, March 15.
Anything else? Cohen: Post
trial motion schedule - we ask
for the 20th of November. AUSA
Roos: Can we have 3 weeks?
Judge Kaplan: Dec 11. Anything
else? Cohen: No. Roos: No.
Judge Kaplan: Good job all
around. Thanks. All rise!
Judge
leaves. Joe Bankman and
Barbara Fried are in the front
room of the gallery. They hug;
she appears to cry. Sam
Bankman-Fried is led back into
the holding cell.
