SBF Objects to Remote Testimony by Ukrainian Customer
Prosecutors are seeking to include witness testimony via video teleconference due to the witness’s inability to travel outside Ukraine, a result of the country’s wartime restrictions.
This particular FTX customer is described as a young male who suffered significant financial losses during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
He could seek a special exit permit from Ukrainian authorities, but prosecutors estimate that, even with approval, it would involve a challenging three-day journey.
Nevertheless, Bankman-Fried’s legal team has registered their objection to this arrangement, emphasizing their non-consent to remote testimony.
