Prosecutors say Sam Bankman-Fried lied under oath on the witness stand. AdvertisementAdvertisementIn closing arguments for Sam Bankman-Fried's criminal trial Wednesday, prosecutors say the disgraced cryptocurrency mogul repeatedly lied on the witness stand. Prosecutors allege Bankman-Fried defrauded millions of FTX customers by stealing their deposits and using them for Alameda. He used the money, prosecutors say, for personal investments, to repay loans, in extravagant advertising, to buy properties around the world, and for political donations.

The stress of the scheme left a key executive 'suicidal for days'Nishad Singh testified against his former boss in court. Jane Rosenberg/ReutersNishad Singh, the head engineer at FTX, testified against Bankman-Fried and spoke to the intense pressure of the scheme. As customers began to withdraw their deposits, FTX didn't have enough liquid cash to actually give them their funds. Instead of working together to solve the issue, executives blamed each other, Singh testified. "In response, Sam said something like, 'We were bulletproof last year, but we're not bulletproof this year,'" Yedidia testified.

Caroline Ellison held an all-hands meeting with Alameda employees where she admitted to taking FTX customer funds. The news sent shockwaves through the office of Alameda Research, the crypto trading firm also owned by Sam Bankman-Fried. AdvertisementAdvertisementAt the all-hands meeting, Ellison appeared "sunken, kind of slouching," and "did not display confident body language," Drappi said. At the meeting, Drappi asked Ellison whether she was aware that Alameda was taking customer money without their permission. Bankman-Fried's lawyers argued Thursday that Ellison's statements at the meeting went far beyond what Bankman-Fried intended to tell Alameda employees.
