Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyers are attempting to stop a Ukrainian client of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX from testifying remotely, arguing it would reference hardships that are irrelevant to the charges and also violate their client’s Sixth Amendment rights.

Sam Bankman-Fried의 변호사들은 파산한 암호화폐 거래소 FTX의 우크라이나 고객이 원격으로 증언하는 것을 막으려고 시도하고 있습니다. 이는 혐의와 무관한 어려움을 언급하고 고객의 수정헌법 제6조 권리를 침해할 것이라고 주장합니다.

In an Oct. 2 letter to the court, defence lawyers said testimony by the Ukrainian, based on circumstances created by Russia’s invasion of the country, “would serve only to elicit the jury’s sympathy and outrage.”

Bankman-Fried’s Right To Confront Witnesses

The lawyers further argued that allowing the testimony of the Ukrainian witness would violate Bankman-Fried’s rights under the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment. Under this provision, every defendant has the right “to confront the witnesses against him.”

변호사들은 또한 우크라이나 증인의 증언을 허용하는 것은 수정헌법 제6조의 대결 조항에 따른 Bankman-Fried의 권리를 침해하는 것이라고 주장했습니다. 이 조항에 따르면, 모든 피고인은 “자신에 대한 증인과 대면할” 권리를 갖습니다.

This constitutional right strongly favours direct testimony in court, the lawyers said, adding it would violate the protections required by the Sixth Amendment because Ukraine has no extradition treaty with the US.

The objection follows a request submitted by the prosecution on Saturday, asking the court to allow the Ukrainian witness to testify remotely.

“In addition to residing abroad, one of the potential FTX customer witnesses has unique circumstances that make international travel for testimony even more problematic,” it said.

“FTX의 잠재적인 고객 증인 중 한 명은 해외 거주 외에도 증언을 위한 해외 여행을 더욱 문제로 만드는 독특한 상황을 가지고 있습니다.”라고 말했습니다.

It added that the witness “lost a significant portion of his life savings that he had entrusted to FTX when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.”

Prosecutors said it’s important for witnesses from various locations to testify in order to paint a clear picture of the extensive impact of the FT collapse.

“Testimony from at least some FTX customers from varying locations, backgrounds, and with varying motivations for selecting and using FTX is relevant to establishing the vast reach that FTX — and by default, the defendant’s promotional efforts and public statements — had on the cryptocurrency community,” they said.

“다양한 위치, 배경, FTX 선택 및 사용 동기를 가진 일부 FTX 고객의 증언은 FTX(기본적으로 피고의 판촉 활동 및 공개 성명)가 암호화폐 커뮤니티에 미치는 광범위한 영향력을 확립하는 것과 관련이 있습니다. ”라고 그들은 말했다.
