The crazy thing about the Sam Bankman-Fried conviction is that he's going to get a longer prison sentence than Trump, and he didn't even try to overthrow the government.
BREAKING: Sam Bankman-Fried GUILTY on all 7 counts.
Jury only took 4 1/2 hours to deliberate.
The FTX case looked like a slam dunk — and it was.
Next comes sentencing. SBF is going to prison — likely for a long long time.
@lawofruby i feel like if you’re in an important role - keeping a diary containing notes of what you did when is essential; whether it’s electronic or handwritten. being able to refer back to whats happened when makes sense to me. though, i guess in their cases that would be damning.
**ALERT:** NY Attorney General Letitia James celebrates a significant victory in court as Donald Trump Jr. shockingly confesses under oath, a revelation that heavily tilts the case in favor of Attorney General James.
Taking the stand today, Trump Jr. boldly acknowledged that he had affixed his signature on several deceptive property assessments when questioned by a representative from James' team.
According to a courtroom journalist, "On being presented with a loan paper from Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas dated March 13, 2017, Don Jr. endorsed it as an 'attorney in fact' for his father, asserting that the misleading document “accurately depicts the financial status of the Guarantor for the time frame mentioned.”
Complicating matters for both father and son, when asked about his reasons for signing a fraudulent paper, Trump Jr. candidly remarked, “Throughout my tenure as trustee, I've likely signed countless such documents."
Indeed, Trump Jr. has publicly conceded that he has endorsed "multiple" misleading documents at his father's behest. This recent admission starkly contrasts with his prior sworn statement in which he denied awareness of the Trump Organization's deceptive property assessments intended to deceive banks and creditors.
Should Trump Jr. believe this approach will serve him well, he's likely mistaken, given Judge Engoron's previous ruling against the Trump Organization for fraud. Now, the court deliberates on a fitting financial penalty, which might exceed $250 million.
