Ep. 318: Crypto Fraud On Trial: The U.S. vs. SBF

Law360's Pro Say - News & Analysis on Law and the Legal Industry

The criminal fraud trial of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is underway in Manhattan, with prosecutors making the case that SBF looted billions of dollars from the crypto exchange before its ultimate collapse last year. Joining Pro Say this week is Law360 New York courts reporter Rachel Scharf, who explains that the case will ultimately turn on whether the government can show that the fallen crypto mogul willfully shuffled money from the exchange to his hedge fund and how testimony from FTX insiders could make or break the case. Also this week, we shine a light on a few new cases taken up by the Supreme Court, including thorny disputes over social media content moderation policies, SEC disclosure rules, and time limits on claiming copyright infringement damages.
