On Thursday, October 19 there was Robert Boroujerdi of Third Point. Inner City Press live tweeted, thread:
AUSA: For this March 2021 call, what was the data room? Boroujerdi: Documents
AUSA: Did you believe the documents? Boroujerdi: Yes. AUSA: Did you have a call with the defendant?
Boroujerdi: A Zoom call led by Sam. I was in my NYC apartment. FTX was in Hong Kong. We talked about the risk engine. Sam said it took out human emotion
AUSA: Did Alameda Research come up?
Boroujerdi: Yes. Sam said he'd started it. He said they were independent. AUSA: Did you know Alameda was exempt from the risk engine?
Boroujerdi: No. We would not have invested. There should be no preferential treatment.
AUSA: Did you meet the defendant? Boroujerdi: At a Miami event, and at Equinox Hotel in Hudson Yards, co-hosted by Circle...
AUSA: And any other times in NYC? Boroujerdi: Sam did a fireside chat at JP Morgan in midtown Manhattan... Ramnik Arora called
AUSA: Did Ramnik tell you FTX had a hole? SBF's Cohen: Objection as to form. Judge Kaplan: Sustained. Leading.
AUSA: Did you become aware FTX was facing financial difficulties?
Boroujerdi: I saw tweets
