The trial, which is expected to last about six weeks, comes nearly a year after FTX’s collapse shocked markets and tattered Mr Bankman-Fried’s reputation.

Mr Scaramucci served briefly as White House communications director during Mr Trump’s administration. His investment firm, SkyBridge Capital, once owned a stake in FTX.
At the outset of proceedings, Mr Kaplan told Mr Bankman-Fried in open court that it would ultimately be his decision whether to testify in his own defence, and asked him whether he understood.“Yes,” the 31-year-old former billionaire replied. He was dressed in a suit and striped tie, with his once signature curly, unkempt hair cut into a neater trim.
