I think he both underestimated her and was bamboozled by a pretty face.
I've been watching her recaps of the trial, and I find them interesting and informative.

Maybe this longtermism thing has something to it. Maybe at sentencing.

Re: Blockchain, NFTs, and Web 3.0
Wow, I was just watching an overview of the last day that mentioned it could take a week depending on what documents they wanted to review.
According to a youtube report, the jury asked for transcripts related to investors Robert Boroujerdi and Matt Huang at around 7pm, and announced they had reached a verdict at 7:30.

Re: Blockchain, NFTs, and Web 3.0
From the recaps of the trial, and especially the closing arguments, the jury never bought the defense's arguments. I was expecting a day or so, but apparently the jury thought it was just that obvious.
I mean, it was, but if I were on the jury I'd slow down a bit to make sure I knew everything was in order.

I think if SBF hadn't testifed it'd have been a lot harder.

Re: Blockchain, NFTs, and Web 3.0
I’m wondering if the prosecution did a fabulous job of calling bullshit on Sam’s bullshit and explaining why it’s bullshit it got to the point where it was obvious to the jury that Sam not only can’t tell the truth, he has no idea what reality even looks like. So, speed run.

Re: Blockchain, NFTs, and Web 3.0
I think so, I'm still surprised it took just under 4 hours. Apparently, several reporters (and amateurs) covering the trial got surprised as well, and were locked out of the courtroom because they didn't get back in time.
My thoughts on this: Bankman-Fried was perfectly fine with spending customer's money because he thought he was smart enough that he'd make more and be able to cover anything he "borrowed" when the customers wanted to withdraw. Instead, he got caught with his pants down when crypto experienced a downturn and people started looking for the fraud that was rampant.
The dysfunction of the company might be a defense, but the dysfunction was there partly to cover up the fraud, and partly because the company was doing so well, they didn't think they needed to worry about it.
There is a long history of this kind of fraud, and Bankman-Fried isn't special. He just sounded like he might be for a moment.

And the 4.5 hours likely included lunch, filling out and signing the verdict forms, and probably a lively Lulziest Self-Incriminating Statement contest.

Amazingly, not the first time that's happened at a party in Hong Kong.

Speaking of, this was a great breakdown of the amount of time SBF could be facing, and now I'm even more amazed he pulled shit like VPNing the Super Bowl or releasing a witness's diary, like does he *want* to piss off the judge?

Re: Blockchain, NFTs, and Web 3.0
Yeah, "leaking your ex-girlfriend's diary to the NYT to try to discredit a witness in your trial" is actually I believe the specific thing that got him moved from house arrest to jail.
