Sam Bankman-Fried’s Defense Will Be Poked Holes in by Prosecutors, Says Anthony Scaramucci
SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci believes that Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried will not stand a chance against government prosecutors in his criminal trial. In an interview on CNBC’s Last Call, Scaramucci stated that the United States Department of Justice prosecutors will highlight the contradictions made by Bankman-Fried, which will ultimately result in a longer sentence for him.
“He’s gonna get skinned alive; there’s no way to escape. He thinks he’s going to outfox the prosecutors, but they’re very, very well experienced with this stuff.”
Scaramucci pointed out that there has been a significant change in perception regarding Bankman-Fried. Previously seen as a “congenial nerd” who planned to donate his wealth, the testimony of former FTX executives revealed a darker side. Bankman-Fried believed he could outsmart the market and become incredibly wealthy, but Scaramucci emphasized that things don’t work out that way.
A Revision of History
According to Scaramucci, there has been a “whole revision of history” surrounding Bankman-Fried. Previously, he was viewed as a generous individual who would give away his money. However, the testimonies from former FTX executives demonstrated that there was malicious intent behind his actions.
Hot Take: Prosecutors Expected to Expose Bankman-Fried’s Contradictions
In his upcoming criminal trial, Sam Bankman-Fried will face formidable government prosecutors who are experienced in handling such cases. SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci believes that these prosecutors will skillfully highlight the contradictions made by Bankman-Fried during his defense. This will likely result in a longer sentence for Bankman-Fried, as his attempts to outfox the prosecutors will be futile. Scaramucci also notes a significant shift in public perception of Bankman-Fried, from a generous and congenial individual to someone with malicious intent. The testimony of former FTX executives has shed light on this change in perception.
