SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 8 –   For US v Bankman-Fried, after more than a day of jury selection, late morning on October 4 the twelve and six alternate were selected. Inner City Press live tweeted the voir dire here and more below

On Sunday, October 8 prosecutors filed a letter seeking to "preclude the defendant from introducing evidence or argument about the current value of certain investments made by the defendant... the defendant invested approximately $500 million in Anthropic, a startup artificial intelligence company, in April 2022. The Government expects to introduce evidence that the defendant funded this investment with FTX customer deposits. In the past few weeks, Anthropic has announced that it is attempting to raise additional funds from investors, including Amazon and Google, at a valuation between $20 billion and $30 billion." Full letter on Patreon here.
