Sam Bankman-Fried took a big risk by testifying in his own trial. It did not go well

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried arrives at the U.S. federal courthouse in New York City to submit his not guilty plea on March 30, 2023. Bankman-Fried faced this week tough questioning from prosecutors who sought to paint him as the mastermind behind a massive fraud at FTX.

The former FTX CEO was keen to convince jurors he did not intend to commit any crimes — but he stumbled frequently under withering questioning by the prosecution.
