The Trial of Sam Bankman-Fried

The prosecution laid out damning testimony from SBF’s inner circle, including leaked audio from a company all-hands meeting explaining how the company was paying their debts with customer money, all under the explicit direction of Bankman-Fried.

Crypto-entrepreneur and Chief Analytics Officer at Pioneer Development Group, Christopher Alexander, joins the podcast to explain how SBF went from crypto outsider to kingmaker‒and the alleged fraud that toppled his empire.

He joins to break down how the trial showed SBF’s “effective altruism” led him to take illegal shortcuts, the prosecution’s task of sorting how much of this was incompetence versus criminal behavior, and the courtroom controversy surrounding SBF’s demand for Adderall in order to take the stand.
