SBF’s Criminal Trial Commences in OctoberSBF’s criminal trial is slated to commence in October, several months after his initial arrest in The Bahamas and subsequent extradition to the United States. The trial is expected to last for six weeks.
The trial will begin with jury selection on October 3, followed by the first court hearing on October 4. Bankman-Fried faces seven fraud-related charges, two of which are substantive, and the remaining five are conspiracy charges. The embattled FTX founder has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
Despite multiple attempts to secure temporary release, Bankman-Fried remained detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center. Judge Lewis Kaplan rejected his most recent filing for release on the grounds of flight risk.
