Martin Shkreli, entrepreneur, investor and convicted white-collar criminal, talks about the new judge assigned to the case against Sam Bankman-Fried, whether Sam’s going to plead guilty or not, and the potential involvement of his family in the lawsuit.
Show highlights:
- whether Sam Bankman-Fried truly did not have money to post bail
- why the government did not restrict Sam’s usage of the internet and social media
- why Martin thinks the new judge assigned to the case, Judge Lewis Kaplan, is good for SBF
- how many years Judge Kaplan could sentence SBF to, given his unusual work experience
- whether there’s still a chance that Sam could paint this case as a business failure
- how defense attorneys will likely try to exploit the romantic relationship between Ellison and SBF in their favor
- why it is unlikely that SBF will plead guilty on the January 3rd arraignment date
- what a telemarketing fraudster case has to do with FTX
- how the prosecutors could indict SBF’s family if he doesn’t plead guilty
- how a jury would be selected
- whether Sam has enough funds to pay for a decent lawyer and how that’s going to affect the case
- how Martin learned about crypto while he was in prison
- how prisoners engage with crypto while incarcerated
- whether Sam could run a business from prison
