Description

This time, we teamed up with the Chain Reaction podcast and Jacquelyn Melinek to talk about the ongoing trial of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF.The rise of FTX and its later implosion rocked the crypto world when the formerly massive crypto exchange went under last year. In the aftermath, the company's executives have been charged with financial crimes. Many have pleaded guilty and are cooperating with the government. SBF is not.Here's TechCrunch's reporting on the trial thus far that we went over on the show:SBF’s trial has started, this is how he and FTX got hereSBF’s trial promises to be just as riveting as the rest of the FTX dramaUS government confirms it didn’t offer any plea deals to Sam Bankman-FriedMeet the 12 jurors on Sam Bankman-Fried’s trialWas FTX an empire ‘built on lies’ or a startup that ‘grew too quickly’?That last entry goes over the opening statements, which we got into during the show. Jacquie, of course, hosts TechCrunch's Chain Reaction podcast, which is focused on all things crypto. We're lucky to have her back on the mic.More to come on the SBF trial.
