Sam Bankman-Fried took the stand one last time during his criminal fraud trial in New York to deny wrongdoing.
SBF's team has appealed to an esoteric element of English law—which, it claims, governs FTX's terms of service—to deny that FTX ever had any fiduciary relationship to its customers at all.
SBF was hit with intense questioning about his role as the CEO of FTX and the inner workings of the crypto exchange in the weeks leading up to their collapse.
Terraform Labs claims that the SEC has not provided any admissible evidence to back the allegations made in the lawsuit.
The embattled former CEO once again submitted to testifying under oath about the collapse of his crypto empire.
Shin is currently facing trial over his role in the collapse of the Terra ecosystem and its flagship stablecoin.
Almost the entirety of the day was dedicated to SBF's testimony, which gave the courtroom further insights into the inner workings of FTX and Alameda from his perspective.
The FTX founder first testified on Oct. 26, but not in the presence of the jury.
