Nervous Caroline Ellison blamed SBF for ‘borrowing’ FTX funds in recording played at fraud trialBankman-Fried’s ex-CEO ex-lover finishes testimony, says SBF talked her out of quitting his hedge fund just months before FTX collapseSam Bankman-Fried is still not getting his prescribed dose of Adderall – impacting the disgraced crypto magnate’s ability to focus as he weighs the pivotal decision of whether to testify at his criminal fraud trial, his attorneys claim.
“The defense has a growing concern that because of Mr. Bankman-Fried’s lack of access to Adderall, he has not been able to concentrate at the level he ordinarily would and that he will not be able to meaningfully participate in the presentation of the defense case,” Bankman-Fried’s lawyer Mark Cohen wrote to the court in a late Sunday filing.and other former FTX insiders as witnesses, are expected to wrap up their case in the next week or two.
Emails and phone calls to the US Bureau of Prisons’ assistant general counsel have gone unanswered, the lawyers griped. Singh, who is testifying as a government cooperator, ripped Bankman-Fried for “excessive” spending while he helmed FTX and its associated crypto hedge fund Alameda Research – including spending more than $1 billion in endorsement deals with celebrities like Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen and on naming rights to the Miami Heat NBA basketball arena.
