According to Foresight News, according to CoinDesk, after Caroline Ellison finished her first day of testimony, Sam Bankman-Fried's defense team wanted to question Caroline Ellison about the extent to which she relied on legal advisers to make certain decisions during her tenure as CEO of Alameda Research, as well as the valuation of FTX's shares in Anthropic AI.
The U.S. Department of Justice has asked the judge to block SBF’s defense team from mentioning the current valuation of FTX’s investments, specifically referring to Anthropic AI, and said it was irrelevant to the question of whether SBF misappropriated FTX customer funds for personal use. At the end of Tuesday’s court session, lawyers and Judge Lewis Kaplan argued over whether those issues should be raised during the trial, and an assistant U.S. attorney, Danielle Sassoon, said Ellison was also an individual investor in Anthropic.
