👨‍⚖️ Sam Bankman-Fried's Court Appearance Minus the Jury

Sam Bankman-Fried, commonly known as SBF, made a court appearance in his ongoing fraud trial. As he began his testimony, Judge Lewis Kaplan made an unexpected move by sending the jurors home. SBF, aged 31, faces seven charges of federal fraud and conspiracy stemming from the collapse of FTX and its affiliate, Alameda Research. Judge Kaplan has stated that there are aspects of the testimony that are contentious, which might have influenced his decision to have SBF testify outside of the jury's presence. He's set to continue his statement in front of the jury tomorrow. 🗣️

TL;DR ⏳: In a twist, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) testifies in his fraud trial without the jury present due to some contentious points in his testimony. ⚖️
