NEW YORK - Sam Bankman-Fried's fraud trial has featured dense testimony about computer code, cryptocurrency and corporate finance, but U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan's dry sense of humor has provided the occasional moment of levity.
Earlier this year, Kaplan oversaw a civil trial in which a jury found Donald Trump had sexually abused and defamed the writer E. Jean Carroll and ordered him to pay her $5 million. Last year, he presided over a civil trial in which the actor Kevin Spacey defeated a sexual abuse claim.
The jury will ultimately decide the question of Bankman-Fried's guilt or innocence, but Kaplan has final say over the types of arguments and lines of questioning the lawyers may pursue. The judge would ultimately sentence Bankman-Fried should he be convicted. "You've been over this already six ways to Sunday, and you got your answer," Kaplan said, outside the jury's earshot."The goal here is not to set a record for the longest trial."
