SBF sought to have Alameda return the borrowed money but faced challenges due to their deeply intertwined financial situation. Alameda, granted special privileges, operated as an FTX market maker.

2023 October 10 Trial proceeding Trial day 5. Conclusion of Gary Wang's testimony, where he faces cross-examination by one of SBF’s lawyers, Christian Everdell. Wang discusses SBF’s consideration of shutting down Alameda, indicating a 30% chance according to SBF.

2023 October 11 Trial proceeding Trial day 6. As the sole witness[27], former CEO of Alameda Research, Caroline Ellison, provides crucial testimony during the trial, indicating that SBF directed employees to engage in fraudulent activities against FTX customers, which involved transferring billions of dollars to Alameda Research, a hedge fund affiliated with FTX. Ellison discloses that SBF specifically instructed her to create deceptive "alternative" balance sheets, which were presented to the cryptocurrency lender Genesis. These manipulated documents concealed a substantial sum of $10 billion, which had been borrowed from FTX customers. Ellison notes that her involvement in the scheme was under the explicit instruction of SBF, stating, "Sam told me to." Additionally, SBF purportedly contemplated raising funds from the Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman. Ellison also reveals SBF's directive to "keep selling BTC if it's over $20,000," prompting concerns about potential market manipulation allegations.[28] Ellison provides detailed information regarding the period leading up to the collapse of FTX in November 2022. Following a market downturn in May, lenders, notably Genesis Capital, demanded the repayment of loans, resulting in significant financial strain. Ellison, the former co-chief executive of Alameda Research, testifies that SBF directed her to devise "alternative ways" to present Alameda's financial data to lenders, concealing their substantial liability towards FTX. SBF's strategies for survival included seeking capital from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia and advocating for regulatory measures against Binance, a competing cryptocurrency exchange.[9]

The defense delves into the capital lent to Alameda by crypto lenders Genesis and Voyager, with Ellison stating that borrowed funds could be legally utilized for various purposes, including trading activities.

She admits to cooperating extensively with prosecutors and discusses financial forecasts made during the bear market. Details about Alameda's bank accounts and fund redirection from FTX are also presented during the examination.[9]
2023 October 13 Trial proceeding Trial day 8. During the trial, digital asset lender BlockFi CEO Zac Prince testifies that BlockFi's bankruptcy was caused by its association with FTX and Alameda Research. Prince reveals BlockFi had US$1.1 billion on FTX and blames FTX and Alameda's false balance sheets for BlockFi's collapse. He emphasizes BlockFi wouldn't have lent to Alameda if aware of FTX customer funds' involvement. BlockFi began lending to Alameda in 2020-2021, with loans exceeding $1 billion by May 2022. Prince highlights BlockFi's due diligence but admits losses due to Terra Luna's collapse. Prosecutors question customer awareness, contrasting BlockFi's transparency with FTX's practices. BlockFi's over-exposure to FTX Token (FTT) in 2021 also contributed to its financial distress.[29][30][31][32]
2023 October 16 Trial proceeding Trial day 9. Former FTX engineering head Nishad Singh testifies that $1.3 billion of customer funds were used to build SBF's social capital and public image. Singh's testimony highlights the alleged misuse of customer funds and excessive spending on sponsorships, including celebrity endorsements. Singh reveals that FTX spent $1.3 billion on promotions, with millions sent to celebrities like Steph Curry, Kevin O'Leary, Tom Brady, and Larry David. Singh also describes SBF's involvement in political donations, including a complex system of loans and transfers, and his attempts to deceive regulators. Defense attorney Mark Cohen pushes to adjourn the trial to wait for additional Adderall medication for SBF, but the judge rules to continue the daily hearing schedule.[33][34][35][36]
2023 October 17 Trial proceeding Trial day 10. Former Senior Engineer Nishad Singh testifies about SBF's lavish spending and large-scale investments from FTX's funds. Singh reveals that he received bonuses and borrowed significant amounts, intending to make donations to charity, but those transactions never occurred. The defense cross-examines Singh, emphasizing discrepancies in financial records and pointing out missing funds in the balance sheet. Additionally, pictures of SBF socializing with celebrities and political leaders are presented to the jury. The trial continues with detailed scrutiny of financial transactions and Bankman-Fried's expenditures.[37]
2023 October 18 Trial proceeding Trial day 11. Prosecutors reveal SBF's profane messages criticizing regulators, undermining his cryptocurrency oversight image. The messages, sent to journalists including Vox and The Block, displayed his frustration with regulators, challenging his advocacy facade. Despite objections, the messages are admitted as evidence, portraying his true mindset during the alleged fraud. Separately, an expert witness discloses a $9.3 billion money trail, exposing FTX's misuse of customer funds. Transactions involved investments, political donations, and real estate purchases. Prosecution's evidence strengthens claims of fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering.[38][39][40]
2023 October 19 Trial proceeding Trial day 12. Former FTX General Counsel Can Sun testifies about a US$7 billion deficit in customer funds, expressing shock and revealing that SBF asked him for legal justifications. Sun also mentions Nishad Singh's emotional state before FTX's collapse. The defense focuses on FTX's terms of service, particularly margin trading, seeking to understand customer risk. Sun reveals SBF's attempt to find theoretical justifications for the missing funds, which Sun finds unsupported by facts. The session ends with Robert Boroujerdi stating Third Point wouldn't have invested if aware of Alameda's privileges.[41][42][43][44]
2023 October 26 Trial proceeding Trial day 13. The courtroom witnesses extensive legal maneuvering and interruptions by District Court Judge Kaplan due to repeated questions, sidebars, and objections from both sides' attorneys. Prosecutors conclude their case with FBI Agent Mark Troiano's testimony, who examined over 300 Signal groups associated with SBF, most utilizing the auto-delete feature. Following the prosecution's conclusion, the defense calls witnesses, including Bahamas attorney Krystal Rolle, who discloses that FTX transferred all digital assets to the Bahamas regulator on the same day a court order was issued in November 2022. The defense also presents financial consultant Joseph Pimbley, who analyzed FTX's assets, revealing over $5.8 billion in accounts with trading enabled, excluding FTX entities or Alameda Research. However, prosecutors point out discrepancies in FTX's database accuracy during cross-examination. In a pre-trial hearing, SBF testifies in his defense, adopting a strategy of ignorance on specific matters, deflecting blame onto his legal advisors, and relying on internal lawyers and consultants. SBF's testimony features numerous "I don't recall" statements. Despite the defense's motion to dismiss the case, citing lack of evidence for fraud and money laundering, Judge Kaplan denies the motion.[45][46][47]
2023 October 27 Trial proceeding Trial day 14. SBF testifies, blaming his former girlfriend and Alameda CEO, Caroline Ellison, for poor management in Alameda and accepting some mistakes while denying other claims made by colleagues. SBF denies defrauding anyone and discloses borrowing from various sources for Alameda. He clarifies the internal name for Alameda as 'Wireless Mouse,' refuting the term 'Sam's Crypto Trading Firm.' He explains FTX and Alameda's moves to Hong Kong and the Bahamas were due to a more flexible regulatory environment. SBF acknowledges aggressive FTX marketing funded by Alameda loans. He emphasizes Alameda's market maker role on FTX, blaming Ellison for lack of risk management focus. He claimed ignorance about the "Allow Negative" code and admitted to political donations funded by Alameda loans. Bankman-Fried cited Alameda's liquidity drop and internal solvency concerns, blaming Ellison again for not hedging bets and considering shutting down Alameda in 2022 due to the absence of proper management. The trial continues with cross-examination and a rebuttal case expected before the verdict.[48][49][50]
2023 October 30 Trial proceeding Trial day 15. SBF displays a deep disdain for regulators, using profanities and expressing his negative views about a "subset of people" on Crypto Twitter. Despite his public support for crypto regulation, he admits to privately saying, "fuck regulators." SBF's defense attorneys try to shift blame onto Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, claiming she admitted to inadequate hedging and offered to resign. SBF states he attempted to help Alameda by suggesting larger hedges and discussing a potential rescue package with private equity firm Apollo. Prosecutors question his credibility, presenting evidence of his involvement in trading decisions at Alameda and inconsistencies in his public statements. The trial is expected to conclude on October 31.[51][52][9]
2023 October 31 Trial proceeding Trial day 16. Prosecutors challenge SBF's credibility, focusing on his lack of awareness regarding the $8 billion spending of FTX customer funds by Alameda. SBF admits to not segregating FTX customer funds from Alameda's and not investigating the money's use. Prosecutor Danielle Sassoon questions his alleged close ties with Bahamian government officials and presents emails discussing segregated funds for Bahamian customers. Both sides rest their cases, leading to closing arguments and subsequent jury deliberations. The prosecution highlights inconsistencies in SBF's statements, while the defense points to decisions made by other executives. SBF is questioned about FTX's insolvency and his unawareness of Alameda's $8 billion liability. His defense that negative comments about regulators are due to skepticism is presented. The judge denies the defense's request for acquittal, setting the stage for closing arguments on November 1, with a verdict expected by November 3. No additional witnesses will be called by either side by this time.[53][54][55]
2023 November 1 Trial proceeding Trial day 17. In the closing arguments of the trial over the collapse of FTX, government prosecutors accuse SBF of orchestrating a "pyramid of lies" to deceive and defraud customers of $10 billion. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas Roos presents the case, alleging that SBF engaged in illegal operations while maintaining a legitimate facade. The prosecution emphasizes SBF's alleged knowledge of wrongdoing and argues that his claims of ignorance and advice-of-counsel are insufficient. Defense attorney Mark Cohen portrays SBF as both a victim and a responsible actor, highlighting his repayment of lenders and suggesting the failure of other executives. The trial is set to conclude with rebuttal arguments and jury deliberation.[56][57][9]
2023 November 2 Trial proceeding Trial day 18. SBF is found guilty on all seven criminal fraud counts, facing a potential prison term of up to 115 years. The charges include defrauding lenders and consumers, with a provisional sentencing date set for March 28, 2024. US Attorney Damian Williams characterizes the case as one of the largest financial scams in American history. SBF's defense lawyer, Mark Cohen, hints at an appeal, emphasizing his client's innocence. The trial involves deliberations on the use of FTX customer funds for various purposes, and the prosecution argues that SBF schemed and lied to obtain and misuse the money. The situation draws comparisons to Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos. The jury's swift decision follows an 18-day trial. Sentencing is scheduled for March 28, 2024, and the verdict could have SBF facing decades in prison.[58][59][60][61]
2023 December 29 Post-trial proceeding U.S. prosecutors announce that they will not pursue a second trial against SBF. The decision is based on the "strong public interest" in promptly resolving the case against the 31-year-old former billionaire. The prosecutors emphasize the significance of this interest, especially considering SBF's upcoming sentencing on March 28, 2024, which is expected to involve orders for forfeiture and restitution to his victims.[62]
2024 March 28 Post-trial proceeding A tentative sentencing date is set for this date.[63]
