Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder of the defunct FTX exchange, is set to face trial in October, barring any postponement. Amid the fracas, the former exchange CEO has maintained that he isn’t guilty of all these charges leveled against him and will be reportedly bringing expert witnesses to prove his innocence.
