Former FTX CEO Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried will testify as a part of his defense case, said his attorney Mark Cohen.
In an Oct. 25 telephone conference between SBF’s lawyers, prosecutors, and Judge Lewis Kaplan, Cohen said following the prosecution completing the presentation of its case on Oct. 26, his team planned to call three witnesses in addition to Bankman-Fried to the stand. Judge Kaplan said he would allow the case to go “straight through” on Oct. 26, moving directly from the prosecutors’ final witness to the defense’s first one.
This is a developing story, and further information shall be added because it becomes available.
