Sam Bankman-Fried's fourth day of testimony in his trial saw a quieter and more composed demeanor, but he still faced challenges in providing clear and coherent responses to some questions from the prosecution. The trial is now moving into its final phase with closing arguments scheduled for Wednesday, bringing an end to the presentation of evidence and legal discussions on jury instructions.

Defense lawyer Sam Enzer says Sam Bankman-Fried’s testimony had evasive answers and non-sequiturs—but that the defense may now have a good argument for appeal.
Sam Enzer, a partner at the law firm Cahill Gordon & Reindel, told Laura that former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried did about as well as he could in his testimony Friday but that he was unlikely “to withstand the scrutiny” of what prosecutors have already said will be a robust cross-examination when he takes the stand Monday.
Enzer noted that Bankman-Fried’s attempts to explain why he thought his trading shop, Alameda Research, could borrow billions in dollars of FTX customer assets “defies common sense,” and that the company’s own terms of agreement or any other communications offered no justification for this belief. A Thursday hearing without the jury present, in which the defense gave a preview of some arguments it wanted to make, ended up giving the government answers from SBF that it can now use against him. Enzer also said that Bankman-Fried’s contention that his biggest mistake – a failure to implement proper risk management – did not constitute criminal fraud, did not address the core of the government’s case; namely, that he lied about how FTX was handling customer deposits.
