During closing arguments Wednesday in the fraud and money laundering trial of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, attorneys for both sides advised the jury on how to view the defendant’s two-and-a-half days on the witness stand.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicolas Roos asked jurors if they noticed that Bankman-Fried’s testimony, on direct examination, was “smooth, like it’d been rehearsed a bunch of times”—but that his cross-examination was “uncomfortable to hear.”
