sam bankman fried trial

Former FTX CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, is set to face a 21-day trial starting October 4, following charges related to the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX. The exchange, once a household name in the U.S. for its high-profile sponsorships and campaigns, faced a liquidity crisis due to the plummeting value of its native FTX Token (FTT). Bankman-Fried has been accused of seven counts of conspiracy and fraud, with potential penalties amounting to over a century of jail time if found guilty
