I had asked Sam if he was "aware there was a chance this would not work" and he said that he was. The prosecutor seized on this too: "I'm asking, did you know that this put the FTX exchange at risk?" SBF: "No, I did not." 8/

Both can be true -- we are all vulnerable to scams. And we would not hand $50k in cash to an undercover CIA officer to open some kind of double-secret bank account!

Bankman-Fried tells me he’s still got a chance to raise $8 billion to save his company. He seems delusional, or committed to pretending this is still an error he can fix, and either way, the few supporters remaining seem unlikely to set him straight.
