The trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of FTX, is entering its final stretch, with jurors being offered free pizza and Uber rides home. U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan has extended the court hours until 8:15 p.m. to allow for deliberations. Bankman-Fried is facing charges including wire fraud and money laundering, with a potential life sentence if convicted. The trial has relied heavily on testimonies from former colleagues and friends of Bankman-Fried, who have cooperated with the prosecution. Prosecutors argued that billions of dollars of customer money went missing from Bankman-Fried's crypto exchange, constituting fraud.
