- Here are the biggest bombshells from the trial.
Sam Bankman-Fried's criminal trial was a treasure trove of revelations about the former crypto king.
Dethroned from his cryptocurrency empire, Bankman-Fried stood trial for five weeks in a Manhattan federal court before a jury convicted him on all counts.
Bankman-Fried siphoned billions of dollars from customers of his crypto exchange, FTX, to his personal crypto hedge fund, Alameda Research. Three of his close friends and executives — Caroline Ellison, Gary Wang, and Nashad Singh — all pleaded guilty and testified as cooperating witnesses, saying they co-conspired with Bankman-Fried in the plot.
