Tecnologia Testemunhas-chave de Sam Bankman-Fried impedidas de testemunhar no próximo julgamento Notícias do Bitcoin Ethereum Several key witnesses, including a British barrister and a University of Michigan professor, have been barred from testifying in the upcoming trial of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, as ordered by District Judge Lewis Kaplan. The trial, which is scheduled to commence on Oct. 3, has garnered significant attention. One of the primary individuals expected to testify was Lawrence Akka, a prominent British barrister. Akka‘s testimony was to elucidate the intricacies of FTX’s terms of services and the ensuing obligations. However, Judge Kaplan, in a surprise move, deemed this testimony inadmissible. He remarked, “The opinion of an English barrister as to the meaning or legal effect of contractual language, even language in a contract governed by English law, simply is not a proper subject of a jurys attention.” This decision emanates from prosecutors concerns raised in late August, wherein they sought to bar seven witnesses from testifying. Their primary grievance was that these individuals did not satisfy the stringent requirements for expert testimony. Apart from Akka, this list included Thomas Bishop, president of Tom Bishop Brian Kim and Peter Vinella, directors at consulting firms; Joseph Pimbley of Maxwell Consulting; Bradley Smith, a professor
