A parade of powerful legal minds has gathered over the last three weeks at the criminal trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced cryptocurrency mogul.
A prolific YouTuber with a channel devoted to crypto, Taco, 39, has become an unlikely staple in the crowd of lawyers, reporters and curious observers who line up every morning before sunrise to get a seat at Mr. Bankman-Fried’s trial in downtown Manhattan.
“Everyone talks about how important crypto is to them,” Taco said.
“But then they don’t go to any events.”Taco declined to reveal his real name, citing privacy concerns.
But he said he felt compelled to show up for “technically sort of like the trial of the century.”
