If “saving” their son had become “the major project” of their lives, Sanford Law professors Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried looked utterly “defeated” Thursday, with a federal jury taking a little more than four hours to find their adored oldest child, disgraced FTX mogul San Bankman-Fried, guilty in the largest cryptocurrency fraud trial in history.

The couple, once highly popular and respected academics on the Stanford campus, “looked frightened” when they entered the courtroom Thursday in New York, The Verge writer Elizabeth Lopatto reported. Bankman put his arm around his wife as they sat down on the wooden benches. Fried put her head in her hands while their son, who had traded in his “schlubby” shorts and T-shirt for a suit, tie and shorn head for his trial, stood to hear the jury’s verdict.
