The U.S. Department of Justice completes the prosecution of SBF and SBF will begin testifying

According to live court reports, lawyers from the U.S. Department of Justice concluded the prosecution of SBF after more than three weeks of testimony from expert witnesses and former FTX and Alameda employees. Reports on October 26 showed that the last witness before the US government adjourned the trial was FBI agent Mark Troiano, who mainly testified about the more than 300 groups that SBF participated in the messaging application Signal. After Troiano's testimony, SBF's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the indictment, but Judge Lewis Kaplan quickly dismissed it. SBF's trial is expected to wrap up in the next few working days, when arguments will take place and the judge will consider any motions filed by prosecutors and defense attorneys. However, it is worth noting that SBF will face five additional criminal charges in a second trial starting in March 2024, and in both cases he entered a not guilty plea.
