FTX CEO SBF’s Trial and Allegations of Philanthropy! Prosecutors refused to answer questions from lawyers due to FTX CEO SBF’s desire to pose about a potential act of sacrifice before the upcoming trial next month.
SBF’s lawyers proposed asking questions to potential jurors about a range of topics, including social movements focused on using resources to help others.
Prosecutors argued in a recent application to the U.S. Southern District of New York District Court that the questions were a thinly veiled attempt to paint the narrative that SBF’s wealth was used to try to improve the world.
SBF was a supporter of a social movement focused on using resources to help others before his downfall. Prosecutors stated, “While the Defense may posit an acceptable purpose for the Defendant’s purported philanthropic commitments, voir dire is not an appropriate forum to suggest to the jury that the Defendant is simply a good man who wants to make the world a better place, whether or not he carries through on those commitments.”

Voir dire will be the process used to select the jury members who will serve on the jury panel for SBF’s trial. SBF will remain in jail until his new trial on October 3rd, following the prosecutors’ accusations of witness tampering.
