SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 17 – 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.
"When at last the
Sam Bankman-Fried trial
started on October 3, 2023
with jury selection, after Sam
had been remanded to the MDC
jail, the courtroom on the
26th floor was full, and an
overflow room established on
the 23rd. The author
went back and forth between
them, and down to the Press
Room he'd been admitted to
after six months of covering
cases here, after he was
thrown out of the UN...
"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?
On November 7
Judge Kaplan issued a two page
order explaining his bases for
denying SBF's bid to dig into
alleged inconsistencies in
Gary Wang's and Nishad Singh's
prior testimony, the former
about "allow negative" and on
Singh whether he felt "a pit
in his stomach" as he bought
the house or after. Judge
Kaplan found it "of no
moment."
On November 17
SBF's lawyers asked for more
time: "On behalf of our
client, Samuel Bankman-Fried,
we respectfully submit this
letter to request an extension
until Friday, December 1,
2023, to file our post-trial
motions, as well as a
corresponding adjustment to
the other filing deadlines.
Under the current schedule,
defense motions are due
Monday, November 20, 2023; the
Government’s response" -
