SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 13 – 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
With Caroline Ellison on the witness stand on Wednesday, October 11 questioning turned to FTX's China bribe. Inner City Press live tweeted thread:
AUSA: Did you speak in coded terms?
Ellison: Yes. When we gave a large bribe to China - our accounts were frozen in a money laundering investigation.
Ellison: Sam said Ma had found a way to get our accounts unfrozen, if we just sent to these crypto addresses, $100 million... Thai prostitutes... It was November of 2021.
In the loop on this China bribe was Sam Trabucco. Inner City Press has asked, Why has Trabucco not been indicted? Some say, he left in August. But why then is he in the Small Group Chat on the fateful Nov 6, 2022? Photo of exhibit here. Watch this site.
