Odaily Planet News: Crypto KOL and Rollbit partner Alex Wice posted on the X platform, stating that Ryan Salame was imprisoned for refusing to testify against SBF, which reflects flaws in the U.S. judicial system. Alex Wice believes that SBF was deprived of the right to present evidence during the trial, Judge Kaplan rejected his defense of "reliance on legal advice," and excluded evidence related to solvency and terms of service.
Alex Wice pointed out that the trial narrative was a fictional account conceived by the prosecutor and Sullivan & Cromwell, aiming to attribute all the blame to SBF. In fact, FTX had only a very small capital shortfall at the time of its bankruptcy. Although SBF had made management errors, he had no motive for fraud and had always tried to keep FTX running in order to repay customers. He believes that if SBF had not signed the bankruptcy agreement, FTX customers might have been repaid more quickly. Alex Wice called for the release of Ryan Salame and SBF.
In response to this matter, the SBF X platform account posted a reply: "I basically agree with all the above points. But FTX never went bankrupt. I never filed for bankruptcy. The lawyers took over the company, and four hours later, they submitted a false bankruptcy application in order to steal the company's assets."
