It appears Sam Bankman-Fried's defense strategy will likely center around his own testimony as the key witness in the trial, with a recent court filing suggesting at least six witnesses for the defense. It's likely that some of these witnesses may be character witnesses attesting to the defendant's moral character and conduct.
