Sam continued to be questioned by prosecutor extraordinaire, Danielle Sassoon, and fails to recall a dinner he hosted with Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, and the Bahamian Prime Minister LOL.
We also hear an audio clip of Caroline Ellison during that infamous ~all hands meeting~ and Sam reacts.

Let me just say, your coverage has been spectacular. Thank you for everything

I agree. Many thanks for your hard work.
I'm so invested in these reviews idk what I'm going to do when the trial is over 😢...100 times better than reality TV 😂
If you believe SBF you must also believe he has early onset dementia with all the stuff he doesn’t remember.
You know, your videos are an absolute tour de force. You’re able to construct your thoughts in real time, offering a sophisticated assessment of the back and forth in court, and all the time you’re doing this you’re likeable, funny and relaxed. It’s really the definition of ‘brilliance’.
I love your description of the the way the prosecutor subtly led Bankman-Fried -- apparently without his realizing it -- into a corner where his own Google Drive notes can only be interpreted to mean that he must have known he was part of a four-person conspiracy involving the three indicted persons and the one (at the time) still unindicted person. How could Bankman-Fried have expected an indictment of the fourth person if Bankman-Fried didn't already have an insider's knowledge of the fourth person's role in the crimes? Brilliant. A performance that puts to shame the finest TV detectives.
Very good point on fungibility Carly. $1 of customer's deposits is very different from $1 of profit.
Not in Sam's mind it wasn't.
His CRIMINAL MIND. FUCK THE SCAMMER.
@@jonathanj8303 Sam liked to pretend it was the same. Did he know it wasn't? i think so.
@@howardhill3395 For sure, it was all a front. The whole thing was an intentional con from day one, he's just such a monumental narcissist he thought he could get away with it.
Best coverage of this trial anywhere. Thank you!
This was great coverage throughout. I appreciate your willingness to entertain Sam’s side and overall fair, nuanced coverage. Thanks!
The Google notes gives you a glimpse into what this guy is really like. Underneath that disarming persona, he's this plotting calculating person.
Only calculating people spot other calculating people, it makes me laugh that people think Mark Zuckerberg is an awkward robot guy, this man has 5 billion downloads on WhatsApp Business ALONE in only just playstore, excluding Facebook, Insta, normal WhatsApp etc.
He literally has the whole worlds "data" in his hands. A normal awkward guy doesn't build, acquire companies and manage them like it's nothing.
Mark studied Psychology at Harvard. Society don't just get how is is to be manipulated by people who literally plan you like you're some pawns in their world.
Everything Elon does too is calculated, he isn't even the one tweeting most of the time!
Sam: "But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have a dinner party with those men, Mr. Clinton and Mr. Blair. I never told anybody to bring food, not a single time; never." 🤣🤣🤣
Caroline needs to get her money back from what ever college she went to, like like like like, also she failed Math 101.
Let me set you straight from someone has first-hand knowledge and had contact with some of the best minds of their generation all who went to Ivy League schools and many who went to private elementary or middle or high school‘s as well. The best and the brightest kids in the world who have brains comparable to Sam’s (and yes, he is NOT the smartest person in the room or in the world or even his generation, as he may himself have imagined.) But there are probably 50 Sam’s within a few years of Sam, meaning 50 absolutely mentally brilliant people. But they didn’t get there because their elementary school was stellar… or their middle school or high school. trust me. None of those top 50 kids learned much, if anything, in school. And definitely not from a math perspective. They were already light years ahead of their peers on every single grade level and every course. They learned most of it on their own. At home. Either on their own as a didactic learner or from their parents. Or extracurricular classes. Maybe watching online videos or joining places like online courses that catered to top students!! My point is, by the time the kids get to Harvard or Stanford… They could teach themselves most of what the professors are teaching. They barely need to even go to class in many cases. Accusing Stanford of not teaching her properly is far-fetched. It all came down to upbringing. It came down to the parents that Sam had. He was dealt a bad hand in that sense. Because they failed to teach him the morality and ethics of following the rules of the land he lives in. Of following the rules that would keep him out of jail. And without thinking he was above the rules. And without thinking it was OK for him to be above the rules. That’s where the failure came for the girl Caroline as well. Her parents obviously did not bring her up with proper morals or ethics. I know a lot of people that are top proprietary traders, top engineers and physicists, that cringe that people would cross the line in anyway shape or form let alone ripping off billions of dollars of hard earned money from others. Being smart does not mean you have morals. And being smart does not mean that you do not have morals. The blame should be put on both Sami and his parents. Nobody else.
She won’t need much money in jail
@@lisamentor1018 I think the point was that a supposedly highly intelligent person with the most expensive education that money can buy still has the vocabulary limitations of a budgerigar and cannot organise her thoughts into coherent sentences. I see people like this (trying) to join the workforce regularly and they have zero self awareness of their limitations and enormous self entitlement. We had to get a German girl to escort a visitor around the building and explain everything to them because the foreigner with English as a second language can actually speak English. The home grown university educated dimwits just speak you know, like, like, totally, you know, like, like, LITERALLY, like, and maybe I was like, sort of, like you know like.. In short, meaningless, incoherent , uninformative and irritating gibberish. It's a lack of very basic educational skills and they are too dumb to see it and work on it. Partly because it has been pandered to by schools and colleges who do not encourage or teach students to communicate properly let alone penalise poor presentation, written skills, spelling and grammar etc. They churn out narcissistic, entitled but uneducated, useless and vacuous idiots having charged them a fortune.
@@AnthonyScottGames you are correct.
@@lisamentor1018 I think you put too much stock in Sams brains and not enough in his connections.
We will soon see if “mentally brilliant” Sammy is smart enough to stay out of jail. That doesn’t take a genius. I’m guessing he’s not.
Awesome reporting girl !!! Keep up the good work... When this trial is over you have to continue your work!!!
Sam would be working at Burger King without his parents running the scam.
Burger King may just be a memory when Sam gets out of prison.
GameStop
His brilliant arbitrage trade on bitcoin in Japan is bogus. His profits are probably fiction. If they are real it's because he broke the law.
I will certainly fired after a week !!
@@diogenes34 Well said, well said.
This is First time in his Highly ENTITLED Life, he will be held Accountable.... The First Time......
What about his parents? No legal consequences for their participation in the crimes?
Where is your evidence of willful and knowledgeable participation in decisions about misappropriation and fraud? For the moment, I think we should step back from the parents and see what does or doesn't come in. Genetics is not guilt. First, we need to follow through with Sam.
CARLY RULES !!!!
Years from now.
Question: Mr Bankman-Fried were you on trial for tax evasion?
SBF: I don't recall.
Question: Mr Bankman-Fried were you not found guilty?
SBF: I don't remember.
Question: Mr Bankman-Fried are you now in a federal prison?
SBF: Is that what this is? I miss my veggies.
Hahahaha, hill larry us!
You kick mainstream media’s ass! Keep up the great work and insightful analysis. Thanks
I am so glad I found your channel. Your coverage and explanations have been entertaining and super informative.
And yeah, there were most certainly snacks for the former leaders of the world.
"Money is fungible, anyway." That about sums up his attitude to this whole debacle. He saw how easy it it was to make money on the international arbitrage scene, and with the help of others, set up an exchange charging competitive rates to crypto traders in order to attract them. He then effectively used FTX as his personal piggy bank, probably thinking that the rollercoaster would never stop, that his intellect could deal with any problems that could possibly arise. This has come through in the way he has 'answered' the prosecutor's questions, and if I was on the jury (which I am not), I would not have been convinced by his testimony.
Carly's reporting on the case has been nothing short of brilliant, and I am looking forward to hearing her coverage of closing arguments.
We need to start a Patreon to pay for flying Carly around the country to cover every major court case from now on……this is too good a show, to end this kind of amazing coverage post-trial.
Or maybe recap classic cases like the OJ trial. 😂…..we need more Carly Court!
I agree! She’s the best of all of them out there covering this.
I second this. Please start a patreon Carly.
First of all it cannot be overstated how world class your coverage has been sincerely thank you. Did Sam finally get checkmated by Ms Sassoon's final point I feel like that was the real smoking gun Sam has been so audaciously and desperately trying to avoid
Thank you. I hope you chose to follow the civil trial of SBF parents or any eventual criminal trial of them!
Another great video from a really sharp, eloquent lady.
Good job with your recap. You hit at the very heart. Of what happened.
Having just been in the jury of a trial in UK, I can tell you that if the witness is hard to follow then it makes them not credible in the eyes of the jury. I truly hope the jury in this case see through all of SBFs smoke and mirrors
OK LETS GO !!!
This whole story is nuts! How did they even get away with their behaviors for as long as they did?
I am sad this case is closing just because I enjoy your coverage so much. Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you for sharing your coverage of this trial.
Best coverage of this trial by far
Great job Carly. I would like to ask people here something. I have sat on a jury before. I look for honesty. It was a drunk driving case. Anyway, if I was on this jury for Sam's case, I would be so angry with all the I don't remember and maybe replies, I know I wouldn't trust anything Sam says. Would you all feel the same way? I would convict on all counts. As the head juror reads the charge, I would just say guilty out of disgust for Sam's dishonesty.
NEVER NEVER TO BE RELEASED. HE'S INCORRIGIBLE. CANNOT BE REHABILITATED. THE MOST DANGEROUS TYPE OF CRIMINAL.
He still to this day doesn’t believe he did anything wrong. I’ve been on a jury before as-well, in a “he said, she said” case. The fact that Sam denies, denies, denies & can’t answer simple benign questions is alarming. Nothing in his testimony was forthright & he was combative. He needs to be locked up & never allowed to manage large sums of money ever again…
Great work Ma’am! Tuning in tmw 👍✌️thanks for the info!
Great stuff, thanks for your hard work 😊
Amazing reporting Carly. It seems like a complex case and you do a great job of breaking it down.
Anybody who has attempted to explain a complicated story engagingly will know how difficult it is. You make it look so simple. Brilliant.
Another stellar report!
Despite the gravity of both the situation and charges, Carly is able to inject some black humour into SBFs ridiculous non-answers. Again great work...🤟
I appreciate your cogent articulation of the issues here. Thanks
He is a petulant child. Mommy and daddy told him he was special, and for some reason media etc decide to continue with that.
Reason = money
Great summary of the case. You’re really good at this Carly. Are you going to start doing this more for other cases?
Nicely done! Ty
Great job, Carly. 👍🇬🇧
Thanks so much.
Somebody also said the government asked Sam if he ever asked who spent the $8 billion dollars and if he ever fired anybody for spending $8 billion dollars. I think your observation about "it is all just fungible anyway" is accurate as Sam was just treating money (dare I say "real money") as just paper on a game board like Monopoly but he was buying a condo a Bahamian beach instead of a hotel on Boardwalk. ... You have done a very good job in these reports... many thanks.
Your videos are fantastic! I really enjoy watching them daily on my lunch break. Keep up the great work and I hope you will be covering more trials in the future!
awesome work Carly
Great Job! Keep it up
You have the best account and take if anyone else I’ve seen on UA-cam. Thank you!
I’m not convinced he’ll be convicted. All it takes is one juror. I wouldn’t put “buying off a juror” past his team.
If people are invested, and Sam could pay back, i'd agree. -But Sam got absolutely nothing. It is a miracle he is alive.
What do you mean one juror, shouldn't they all agree on something in the end?
Not going to happen. There’s way too much at stake for anyone to take such a foolish risk.
@@abgvedrone or more jurors disagreeing causes a hung jury, which leads to retrial often, which is what I think op is referring to
I mean this is the American justice system. Dealing with white collar crime. Because billions of US dollars vanished. Someone’s gonna get convicted on this. Sam’ chances on getting away with this is like a single gacha pull with 0.0001% odds. The other thing is he’s not rich anymore. It’s not like he has millions in old money to fall back on to pay to buy off anyone.
pthanks for great snapshot.. absoutely brilliant.. thanks for al the work... keep it up
Many thanks
Your narrative during this trial is very good.
CARLY ABSOLUTELY RULES!!!!! OH YES SHE RULES!
Sam was using the misdirected funds to operate a hedge fund (venture investments) which is where he really got his jolly’s. This is so similar to Enron.
The Enron guys were pretty good at hiding their fraud. This is just some kids without morals that took the money, burned half on bad investments and the rest on airlifting vegan Adderall to the Bahamas
Great coverage and appreciate hearing your personal perspectives as an eye witness to the trial, thanks
Your hands and facial expressions are so entertaining !!! You could sell water to a turtle 🐢 !!! I love it ❤️!!!
I’m interested in Sam’s dad’s PHD in clinical psychology and whether he used this knowledge to coach his son in manipulating others. Hope you come across such information, perhaps when talking with others at the trial. Does their other son, Gabe, behave in a manner similar to Sam?
Sam's parents both seem to be complete psychopaths. I'm sure they groomed him into the narcissist he is, but I'm left wondering if that was truly long game - maybe they made an expendable monster that was loyal to them, and set him to rob the store and be the patsy, while they keep a few tens of millions because the chain of custody is vague enough to prevent recovery. As for the other brother, I don't know, but I believe he runs/ran a PAC that received millions in donations from FTX.
We just saw the way Sam wants to control what others believe. Why would this not extend to his parents? I don't think they knew enough to implicate them and no one has shown such evidence. These kids did not want adults in the room.
Was I the only one who was surprised to hear Bill Clinton was at the dinner?
Please don’t take this the wrong way. You’ve done an absolutely incredible job covering this trial. Your main show about NFTs though, is not good. You have a ton of potential and I hope you find a regular format that is more interesting and engaging like this trial was. NFTs are just kind of meh - super niche and most people don’t care. Thank you for everything you do.
Ty, m’lady. Unbelievable!
"Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go." - Oscar Wilde ...The former applies here
I’ve been a litigator for 17 years and clients like SBF are the absolute worst. I promise you the way he is on the stand is the way he was with them. Couldn’t get a straight answer for anything, and no matter how much you tell them not to fight over basic questions, they just refuse. It clearly makes them look horrendous, but they’ll go to their grave justifying their behavior.
The “all money is fungible” comment by SBF and your remarks on it was interesting.
He should try that argument about fungibility when he discusses His debts in prison.
great job. LOVE your naturalness; super role model!
Carly, excellent coverage, except when the trial wraps up, what do you do?
Kid… you are good at this! You should cover finance and trial news.
Enjoy listening to your content and the rhythm of your speech
Odd you can steal so many people money that the individuals become unimportant and worthless.. Were the victims even mentioned? Every penny he has need to be seized and given back to the victims
What SBF forgot is you can’t take someone else’s money/property without their express and clearly understood permission. Anything else is criminal.
Well well well why am I not surprised to hear the name Blair mentioned.
Good reporting!!!!
My odds are: 45% success on appeal, 5% hung jury, 50% conviction
I wouldn't be surprised if tries to appeal on the grounds of ineffective counsel.
@@snooganslestat2030 But the judges shoehorning of the case by restricting Sams defense by not allowing that claim as to his Alameda general counsel has a pretty good chance.
@@WizardOfAILand doubt it on the counsel stuff. They could have tried for a advice of counsel defense but didn't. And that's fair, there are major disadvantages to opening that can of worms. Then he tried to blame the lawyer anyway. Problem was he was trying to have it both ways, all the advantage of the blaming his lawyers but none of the weaknesses. Which does seem to be his MO.
@@scottkirby5016 My point is that the judge didnt allow him to use that defense. That may be a serious problem. Then the judge allowed one of his attorneys to testify against him???? I think this is strong grounds for appeal.
@@WizardOfAILand They never asked to make it formally. It would have been something weeks ago before trial. If they wanted to make that argument they should have asked then. They can't then ask to let only the good side in now. So the defense chose to block this stuff (in trade for blocking stuff from the prosecution) and the hearing was about making sure they held up their end of that deal. (and really it is the default deal-bringing in the lawyers is a special case).
It works similarly same with alibis at times- if you want to present an alibi that you were somewhere else when a murder happened you have to tell the prosecutors way ahead of time so they can find contradictory witnesses etc.
I'm surprised Sam didn't try to claim that he thought he was allowed to operate on fractional reserves like a bank.... Not that it would've helped. He'll probably end up getting less time than we all think anyways... That's how it usually goes.,
Stellar
I would say that some of what you describe that Sam did to maintain "friendly relations" with the regulators would probably be considered bribery per most major corporations' policies.
What did Bill Clinton have to do with anything? Why was he at the dinner?
@@carolbythesea bill is still a very influential person in american politics.
Why is there no investigation by Transparency International which would either clear of seal the fate of SBF?
Ahaha at the fangirling over Sassoon!
🙏🏼
I have one question, where did all the Money go? Why do we not know? Also what he is doing is the Elisabeth Holmes defence, I don't know, I don't remember, I don't recall.
It's funny that the cargo shorts, t shirts, messy hair, and Toyota gave people the impression Sam was a normal humble guy uninterested in the trappings of wealth. He threw enough money around to end up sharing a stage with Bill Cinton and Tony Blair. He liked to flex, just not in the instagram rapper way. Bill Gates wears a $50 Casio Duro, but he's also the largest private owner of farmland on Earth. His flex isn't a Rolex, it's control of the food supply.
FTX did with FTT what Federal Reserve does with $$$... Print it out of thin air... LOL
Makes the international observer wonder just how bad the American education system is that this guy was considered smart.
I need to understand where the money went in the scheme? Is SBF's position that the other three conspired to move a bunch of customer money to SBF accounts without his knowledge? Did they also move money to their own co-conspirator accounts, are the amounts similar or is there a hierarchy where SBF got the most or all?
You are great
I found a new drinking game. Drink everytime she says her favorite word "semantics" or her favorite sentence "I'm more sympathetic to Sam."
Not sure how one can be sympathetic to someone who stole billions, spent everybody's money but his own, and lies like a 7-year-old. "sympathy towards the victimizer is cruelty to the victims". This lady obviously didn't lose a dime.
Starting at 5:30 is a recording of Caroline's final , "all-hands" staff meeting. It, ah, pains me to, um, listen to it, but, uh, you will get my, mmm, drift when you do.
I'm not sure if Sam has been trueful by saying he couldn't remember, so on. If he was, there is some problems with his brain. If it was a tactic, he deserves punishment.
SBF :
HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THE SCHEME YOU ARE WORKING CANNOT LAST ?
In near future :
Interviewer : you were Ceo for Ftx
SBF : i dont recall being that
Sam’s so-called brilliant mind is fungible
Kathryn, great comment.
Hahahaha
Notice the prosecutor always addresses Sam as Mr Bankman-Fried to avoid humanizing him. The prosecutor might have been better to occasionally appear more compassionate. This constant hammering of the witness could appear to the jury as ganging up, using the unlimited resources of the government to punish and humiliate instead of fact find.
is it not illegal to record company meetings?
Did they ever mention his weekly FTT buy posts on twitter?
Fantastic performance Carly. "Shady shit" 🤣🤣🤣
Attorney amnesia. Lock him up.
On the upside for Sam he may be able to forget a few prison experiences rapidly given his ability to lose all memories faster than clients lost money. I'd bet he remembers his best video game scores
😉
Carly - Curious what your opinion is on the complicity of Sam's parents. Do you expect charges to ever be filed against them? It certainly seems highly likely to me that they were involved in directing at least some of SBF's "effective altruism" activities in addition to materially benefiting from the grift. They should both also be headed to jail IMO!!!
I think it is easy to prosecute a case when the defendant is clearly guilty, and it is hard to defend the case.
Does anyone know is Scam Sam s , brother Gabriel is in court with the parents? Anyone?
Per Tiffany, Barbara was not in court today. Joe sat at the back of the courtroom instead of sitting behind the defendant section as he usually does. No mention of the brother
I wish i could watch that prosecutor 😢i have heard so much and it reminds me of how one of depps lawyers was so harsh lol
i'm wondering why you didn't take to time to read the federal pattern jury instructions, which are available online for free, when analyzing testimony.
I like Carly, and I think she is bending backwards to be fair [to SBF], and is therefore treating him with kid gloves. I think its a done deal with guilty, notwithstanding that one NEVER knows.
(Ref to the audio tape) Anyone who uses ‘like’ those many times in a sentence should not be allowed to run a company. They sound like kids who have no idea what they are up to 🤦🏽♂️
