ABOUT
Sam Bankman-Fried's first day of testimony in his criminal trial began confidently but quickly turned into a series of evasive and indirect responses under cross-examination, raising doubts about his control over his own narrative and the case's outcome. Assistant U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon skillfully challenged Bankman-Fried, leading to moments of confusion and rebukes from the judge, highlighting the complexity of his defense.
