Sam Bankman-Fried trial gives jury inside view of FTX’s final days

Sam Bankman-Fried’s fraud trial has given an unprecedented window into how a group of graduates from elite U.S. universities in their late 20s and early 30s tried, and ultimately failed, to avert one of the biggest and swiftest corporate meltdowns ever. Now, SBF’s fate could hinge on how jurors view his actions in the 10 days before the FTX‘s collapse nearly one year ago. Read more.

SBF thought he could get away with stealing billions of dollars from the cryptocurrency exchange’s customers and that the “rules did not apply to him,” a prosecutor told jurors on Thursday as the fraud trial drew to a close. The 12-member jury is set to begin its deliberations this afternoon.

Major law firms call on law schools to condemn ‘antisemitism, Islamophobia’

More than two dozen major U.S. law firms sent a letter to the deans of the nation’s top-ranked law schools expressing concern over a wave of antisemitism and intimidation on university campuses amid the latest fighting between Israel and Hamas. The firms urged 14 of the top-ranked law schools in the U.S. to take a “unequivocal stance” against discrimination and harassment and said they “look forward” to learning from law schools how they are addressing the situation on their own campuses.

A Sullivan & Cromwell spokesperson said that senior chair Joseph Shenker spearheaded the letter. Find out what other firms signed it.

SEC’s shadow trading case sparks new ‘major questions’ challenge

The SEC is facing yet another headache from the U.S. Supreme Court’s major questions doctrine. Alison Frankel has the details on an investor nonprofit’s new friend-of-the-court brief in the SEC’s so-called shadow trading case against a biopharma exec who allegedly misappropriated confidential information about his employer to buy call options in a competing company’s stock. Notably, Frankel says, the brief was filed by one of the pioneers of the crypto industry’s arguments that the major questions doctrine bars the SEC from going after crypto defendants.
