SBF's fraud trial is underway, with 12 jurors selected on Wednesday who will decide his fate. Many have called out Bankman-Fried’s actions as a fraud worse than Madoff.

He breaks down why a jury doesn’t need to be cryptocurrency experts to understand a financial crime, SBF’s risky legal defense strategy, and the decisive role his ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison will play in the trial.
