Facing cross-examination at his criminal fraud trial yesterday, Sam Bankman-Fried repeatedly testified that he doesn't remember details about what he did and said while running cryptocurrency exchange FTX. Bankman-Fried responded "I'm not sure" or "I can't recall" to many questions from US prosecutor Danielle Sassoon, according to news reports from the trial.
Sassoon "grilled Mr. Bankman-Fried about the inconsistencies between his public statements and how he ran his crypto empire before it collapsed spectacularly in November," a New York Times article said. Bankman-Fried "insisted that he couldn't remember much of what he had said publicly" and "added that he wasn't significantly involved in the hedge fund he founded, Alameda Research."
