One of the key points of discussion in the ongoing trial of former FTX CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), is the reaction of Judge Lewis Kaplan to the defense’s tactics during cross-examination. On the third day of the trial, the defense questioned Adam Yedidia, a close friend of SBF and former FTX employee. However, Judge Kaplan became frustrated with the repetitive line of questioning and urged the defense to move on. The defense attempted to establish that SBF was not extravagant by asking if Yedidia knew what kind of car SBF drove, despite Yedidia answering in the negative. Judge Kaplan sarcastically remarked about the commonness of a Toyota Corolla and asked the defense to proceed. During the cross-examination of Paradigm’s co-founder Matt Huang, Judge Kaplan expressed his frustration again and warned SBF’s lawyer about his line of questioning. The prosecution then called FTX co-founder Gary Wang to the witness stand, but the defense continued with repetitive questions during the cross-examination. Judge Kaplan warned them once more about wasting time unnecessarily. Despite the warnings, the defense persisted with repetitive questions when cross-examining Wang on October 6. Judge Kaplan sustained the prosecution’s objections and expressed his frustration, adjourning the case until October 10.
