Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF in the digital asset sector and the founder of the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, cannot “out-fox” the government prosecutors as they will ruthlessly poke holes in the disgraced crypto entrepreneur’s testimony when he takes the stand in his own criminal trial, claims the founder of a global investment firm based in New York, Anthony Scaramucci.
Im Gespräch mit CNBC in einem Interview on “Last Call,” Scaramucci stated that the Department of Justice (DoJ) prosecutors will “point out all the contradictions” in the testimony provided by the FTX founder, and this will “add years to his sentence.” Interestingly, multiple industry players believe that addressing the jury and providing his testimony will worsen SBF’s case.
“He’s gonna get skinned alive, there’s no way to escape. He thinks he’s going to out-fox the prosecutors but they’re very, very well experienced with this stuff,” Scaramucci noted.
Scaramucci, who served as the White House Director of Communications in 2017, added that there’s been a “whole revision of history” on the FTX founder. He noted that almost a year ago, SBF was described as a “congenial nerd who was going to give all his money away,” but his trial, which saw testimonies from former executives, confirmed that “there was malevolence.”
“He thought he was going to take that money and he was so smart that he would out-trade the market and put the money back and end up as a half-a-trillionaire but it never works like that,” said Scaramucci.
As reported earlier by Bitnation, Scaramucci believes that the former CEO of FTX “really hurt the crypto space” and also brachte viele Politiker in Verlegenheit, die Zeit mit ihm verbrachten, darunter Gary Gensler, der Vorsitzende der US-amerikanischen Börsenaufsichtsbehörde SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission).
Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass SBF auf eingestellt ist in seinem eigenen Prozess Stellung beziehen und wird von der Staatsanwaltschaft ins Kreuzverhör genommen. Sein Prozess wurde am 19. Oktober ausgesetzt und soll am 26. Oktober wieder aufgenommen werden.
