Doctors Say SBF’s Neurological Differences Caused Him to Be “Misunderstood” in Trial

In a recent amicus brief, doctors wrote that the court and jury may have misunderstood Sam Bankman-Fried’s behavior in the criminal trial because he suffers from autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). They argued that the characteristics of these disorders may have affected the way he expressed himself and communicated, leading to misunderstandings about his intentions and demeanor during the trial.

Medical experts note that people with autism often have difficulty understanding social cues and expressing emotions appropriately. This can make them appear remorseless or uncaring, even when they actually are. ADHD can also affect a defendant’s ability to focus and respond quickly, leading to misunderstandings about how attentive and engaged he is.

The motion seeks to ask the court to consider mental health factors when evaluating SBF’s conduct, to ensure he receives a fair and accurate trial. Doctors hope that a better understanding of his mental health will help reduce bias and prejudice during the trial.

Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, is facing fraud charges related to the company’s collapse. The case has attracted widespread attention and raised questions about ethics and responsibility in the cryptocurrency industry.
