On Friday, Sam Bankman-Fried began his first day testifying before a jury with a loss. The FTX co-founder had intended to explain exactly how much he relied on lawyers to steer his decision-making amid the cryptocurrency exchange’s rise and collapse, but US District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled that particular part of his proposed testimony<\/a>\u00a0could not be heard by the jury, The Wall Street Journal reported.<\/p>\n

Bankman-Fried had testified on Thursday that his in-house legal team oversaw paperwork for “hundreds of millions of dollars in personal loans to himself and other founders of the platform,” CNBC reported<\/a>. He told the court that having his legal team’s blessing was something that he “took comfort in.”<\/p>\n
