On Thursday afternoon Eastern Time, the jury began deliberating on seven charges of fraud and conspiracy against Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), related to his tenure as head of FTX and its sister trading company Alameda Research. The jury can reach a verdict anytime before 8:30 PM in New York today (8:30 AM on Friday in Beijing), and all twelve jurors must reach a unanimous decision on each of the seven charges to make a verdict. If they cannot reach a consensus today, the court will adjourn until next Monday to continue the deliberation. If all charges are proven, SBF could face up to 115 years in prison, with prosecutors calling it "one of the largest financial fraud cases in American history."
